Re: ask questions

Agents have no duty to be honest, do non anecdotal research. they have every incentive to get a client and close a deal (at the highest price that will close)

Yes, the simplicity of agent incentives is what make them so easy and useful to work with.

They are not finical advisors or investment experts. They simply find a price that will close a deal, and ensure that it closes swiftly. If you want that, perfect.

A good agent will tell you what bid would likely win.
