don't blame the RE agents, they are on the next to bottom rung of that food chain (the seller below them). The guild system they use for selling RE makes it more like an MLM model with just two layers and hyper-competitive among the RE agents, which pushes any integrity they had to begin with to the limit. The bar to entry in that field is not very high, either. I really can't blame them, as if I were in their shoes (which I would never want to be) I'd probably feel the pressure just as much and who knows how I'd react.
