Robert,re:"deception played". There is just 2 sides of an equation, that I know of. Winner/loser depends on which side you are on. It's a money game (less so than stock, but still). Another deception play: 'average day on market'. A house sit on market for 3 to 6 months, before it sold, switch listing and sold 1 day on the market and 99.99% of asking price. Of course, there are lot more honest used car salesman than the few bad apples. So, I believe majority of the RE professionals are honest. Then, you can't blame them on playing game, they are "obliged to work for the seller" even thought the buyer actually (indirectly) paying the commision.
