this creates a conflict of interest because really the buying realtor is motivated to make the sale, making them in essence a selling agent, not a buying agent. i have heard all sorts of justications from realtors on why its a good time to buy this house or other sort of reasons to buy.

what i want is for them to tell why NOT to buy this house, but what purpose does that serve their bank account?

sure it comes down to ethics and integrity, but when it comes to supporting your family, its amazing how far a "motivated" commissioned sales person may push the boundries.
There is no such thing as a buyers agent, they both work for the vendor and every buyer should act accordingly.
