An Auckland family trust that sold a house for $1.85 million to a buyer who then sold it a month later for $2.55m is taking legal action against its real estate agent.

The Wild family claim real estate agent Martin Honey and Pure Realty breached the Fair Trading Act, and claim there was a breach of contract. The family trust wants $700,000 in damages.
