Realtors are not, for the most part intellectuals. They get paid for facilitating a transaction and typically have better people skills than thinking skills. I made the mistake of trusting a realtor and lost a lot of money because I thought she knew what she was doing. I now realize she was unable to walk and chew gum at the same time, but she was very nice and alway smiled.
Of course, I am sure there are always exceptions to my observations. Always get a second or third opinion when working with a real estate agent.
