I would refuse to agree to it and if it became a problem sue the other party and the agent about it.

Such an addition would clearly be improper. It should not be binding on either of the parties. See an attorney with the details.

That should be reported to the police and any party that does not want the disputed provision should dispute it. Hire a good lawyer to help you.

In Michigan a realtor's conduct is reviewed by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulation as well as in many case the local Board of Realty. I would consider filing a complaint with each body. Second, if you suffered civil damage do to the action, you may be able to maintain a civil cause of action against the Agent and his realtor.
