not all agents are ******* but a good % of them are. they come in all shapes, sizes, age but one thing in common, they act unethically.. and often hiding behind the veil of "getting the best price for the vendor".
great isn't it. "I'm getting the best price for the vendor, and therefore i can treat everyone else like a piece of crap". having purchased real estate in many countries in the world, i have to say this, australia's real estate agents take the prize for being the most unethical. Singapore is probably one of the better ones.
