Gurdeep Virk, an unregistered individual, and his wife Mokshi Virk, a registered real estate salesperson, were charged with trading in real estate without registration and furnishing false buyer's representation agreements.
The prosecution alleged that Gurdeep actively participated in open houses, contract negotiations, and provided client advice to three families (the Vandras, Kohlis, and Bardoliwalas) without being licensed.
Mokshi was charged as a party to Gurdeep's offence and separately for preparing fraudulent buyer's representation agreements.
The court found that Gurdeep engaged in conduct constituting trading in real estate without registration, and that Mokshi abetted this conduct.
However, the court acquitted Mokshi on the charges relating to fraudulent documents, finding insufficient evidence that the buyer's representation agreements were false documents.
