You should check with the title company concerning the 4%. You should have received a copy of the settlement statement prior to closing. Were there any additional fees in your contract such as a transaction fee? A lot of times realtors charge this in addition to their commission. As far as the picture goes, the agent may have changed it in the multiple listing service but this does not automatically change it on his website. He has to manually go in and change it on his website. I don't think there is anything you can do about him using the picture. He took the picture and owns the right to it.

I am going to assume that a title/escrow company was used in your transaction? If so, then you need to call them as well because they are the ones who distribute the monies involved, including any commission checks to the realtor. I would also take action in small claims court, it sounds like an open and shut case. Good luck to you!
