Like you said, it's our responsibility to represent them. We should find them the best house possible and sometimes they choose a house that offers a higher commission or bonus to us, sometimes it doesn't. I think there are many good agents out there, but there's also a few self-serving ones as well. Because of that, I totally agree, writing out a quick disclosure should be done and isn't really that much of a nuisance.

I have a friend that keeps telling me a real estate agent is nothing more that a used car salesman with a 2 day class. . . . Of course I have to correct him and tell him it is an 8 day class.

But it goes to show the public's attitude about agents. Choosing a lack of transparency is certainly not going to help build the public's opinion of agents.

Not to sure what to say. Greed will never die! I'm with you on this one Jay. I cant see where this is anything other than a way to rip off homebuyers.
