I am a Realtor who began my career to HELP people, so they don't get taken advantage of. When I represent a buyer, I WILL ALWAYS have there best intrest at heart. Even if that means showing them FSBO's or FORCLOSED homes that lowers the chance I will get full commision or ANYTHING at all. I and most of my fellow local Realtor's would never do anything like what you discribe. Part of having a Realtor to represent you is to PROTECT your intrest. If you had a BUYERS AGENT maybe thoes things would not of happened to you. I pray that no one reading your post decides they don't need a realtor and ends up getting taken advantage of. Yes there are some bad apples but the entire tree is not bad. Realtors provide a service to protect there buyer or seller. Please remember when you speek of a profession you are speaking of someone's livelihood! I feel saddend that you have personally taken a shot at a perfesion.

Why do you keep going through the listing agent? Of course NO ONE can hold a gun to their head and make them take your low offer, but if you have a realtor that can run comps and PROVE they are way off base you have a better chance.
