The Fishy Side of Real Estate is a story about Miles Vincent, an agent who questions his own ethical practices as he deals with a transaction where he represents both the buyer and seller. Realizing he has compromised his agency obligations due to the inherent conflict of interest, Miles reaches out to those in his own industry, only to be spurned. Undaunted, Miles strikes out on his own to develop a new real estate concept that improves the agency relationship between agents and their buyers and sellers. Like the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, the novel sets the expectation for a change in the way agents represent their clients.
