Can real estate agents lie?
I’ve had experiences with real estate agents who lied, and with others who misled without telling blatant lies, and with others who were honestly misinformed or so ditzy that they didn’t realize that they provided bad information. Unless you have something in writing from the agent that says something contrary to the truth, I’m not sure how you would prove an intentional falsehood. DC law and the procedures of the DC board of realtors (or whatever they call it there) would govern this. You might inquire with the board of realtors about this, without naming names or providing identifying information about the parties. That would provide more information for you w/o the expense of hiring a lawyer.
