Doug, I understand that, as a customer (a home buyer), you are negotiating through a real estate agent and not directly with the seller. That agent and your agent both are fiduciary agents of the seller. As a buyer you are dealing with a seller and two professionals that both work for the seller AND most folks seem to feel pretty good about their transactions. The Realtor association seems able to hold it's members to, at least minimum, standards.

The quasi criminal element in car sales can't can be condoned in this day and age. It has been a small minority for a long time but the transparency of the internet will drive the last nail into the coffin.

There are way too many folks that are reputable and honest in this business to let a few criminals drag us all down. We have an opportunity to reinvent ourselves and change the public's perception of us. Don't let the opportunity pass us by.
