I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.
real estate agent dual agency conflict. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks now and teh situation isn't improving.

Just wanted to add — I went through almost the exact same thing last year. What finally resolved it for me was sending a formal demand letter via certified mail. Once they realized I was serious and had documentation, they settled within 2 weeks.
