Regina real estate agent sanctioned for tampering with other businesses' online profiles
CBC
A Regina real estate agent has been sanctioned by the Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission after he arranged to pay someone to tamper with other businesses' Google Business profiles.
Sagar (Sean) Kundra was reprimanded, ordered to pay a total of $10,000 in fines, and handed a one-month suspension.
The penalties were imposed in a decision dated Dec. 8, 2025, after Kundra admitted to unprofessional conduct and making an untrue statement to commission staff.
The decision outlines how Kundra discovered in April 2024 that anyone could edit Google Business profiles, after someone else tried to edit his.
He offered to pay his digital account manager $250 per account to tamper with other profiles.
The account manager then changed the Google Business profile for an unnamed real estate team to state it was "permanently closed," and changed the page for another real estate agent to state the business was a "bar, night club."
When the account manager asked for payment of the $500, Kundra "told him that he wouldn't be able to pay for anything destructive as his values didn't allow it," the decision said.
The account manager threatened to share Kundra's messages with the businesses he had tampered with, and Kundra told him "to go to hell," it said.
In May 2024, the account manager shared Kundra's messages with those businesses, which resulted in a complaint filed with the commission.
When Kundra was first contacted about the complaint, he claimed the screenshots were forged. When he was then asked for all of his correspondence with the account manager, Kundra supplied it. The supplied messages confirmed his offer to pay $250 per profile to have them tampered with.
The Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission's decision called Kundra's conduct "egregious."
He was ordered to pay the fines within eight months and his certificate of registration was suspended from Dec. 16, 2025 to Jan. 14, 2026.
