It’s supposed to be a happy day — closing the deal on one of the largest transactions in your life.

But behind the lawn signs and open house doors in Calgary’s real estate sector, a nefarious scandal has been unravelling for years. Calgary real estate agent Derek Davidson says he is one of dozens of
victims.

“I was being constantly assured, misled, down the path until he got to the point he could no longer hide it," said Davidson.

Over the past several years, Davidson says he’s been waiting for his money back after lending former real estate agent Eric Drinkwater $80,000.

Davidson is one of several people who spoke to Global News, saying they were victimized in a similar way — by a complex bridge financing scheme orchestrated by Drinkwater.

Global’s Skylar Peters digs deeper into the scheme, the players involved and the battle for compensation.
