Have you ever gone scorched earth on realtors trying to take advantage of you?

No, but it's likely par for the course.  It's an issue of mixed incentives.

Realtor is only getting a fraction of a percent of the sale, they are just trying to maximize their likelihood of making a quick sell and minimize the effort.

We had a similar issue with a realtor in our area.  I got the impression that they really didn't like our house.  Our house is basically the largest in the neighborhood.  He wants to sell it at the same price as all the other houses in the neighborhood.

They make a big deal about the schools.  Ours is in a so, so school area.  He went on about how he sent his kid to Holton.  It was weird though.  I was trying to get some comps to make an argument for my pricing, and I pointed out another house in a similar school district also a so so school district. Same size house, and the realtor is like, "but that's a nice neighborhood".  So there it is.  Realtor lives in a big house in a poor school district and sends his kids to private school.  Ah hah!  Fired.

I didn't go scorched earth, but I talked some people in the neighborhood he tends to work, no one likes him.[/quote]
