Thanks to everyone for their input.

I just want to say I was looking for general advice on how to look for realtor, and sharing my story was just explaining my concern. My side of the story will probably look and sound quite different from how the agent saw it.

Ultimately, I do not think the agent was shady. The fact that my close friend still have a good relationship with this agent makes me question was it something I did wrong or it was a personal issue with me. I tried to be upfront and clear on what I was looking for, and what my expectations are. Maybe I could've done a better job.

I did lean on the agent a bit too much based on the fact it was a referral. I should've reviewed the strata documents more diligently myself, ask more questions, and more importantly, say no when I really feel uncomfortable with it.

In the end, I was left with a feeling that there were some stuff I thought I should've known about, and left wondering, was it something the agent should've disclosed, or I didn't do my own diligence and research a lot more.

But I couldn't agree more, for one of the bigger decision in my life, I should not have left it to "I trust them because someone else I knew used them" and "I don't want to do the work of interviewing the agent", and instead, do my own homework, and be in control of my purchase a lot more.
