But tell the whole truth

We often hear such lofty phrases as Realtors being honorable, kind, truthful and doing disclosures correctly. But if we are to battle misinformation, we need to prove that it is misinformation. Let's take the example of selling company listings first. To hear our colleagues tell this doesn't happen. Great, there are stats available for every company that will show their percentage of in-house sales compared to their market share. If they are within a tight range we have statistical proof that we find the best house for the buyer rather than fit buyers into our houses.
But you know, a lot of areas I've seen flunk that test every day. We do have our own agendas. So rather than take immediate offense (and I did too) let's see if there is truth in any of the 10 things. Remember that you can make lemonade from those lemons.
