Hey tvp, I think Sylvan and Winsor answer you question almost the same as I would have. With regards to pushing for the most money I guarantee there are realtors out there who do, but it’s fairly unethical and in the big picture like Sylvan mention the most money is made on the first $100,000, I personally don’t even think about trying to get more spent as it’s not really worth it, as well you always want to get the best deal from your clients for future business.
During the boom I guess I can admit in some ways I would try to stay away from recommending new construction, I wouldn't go as far as your realtor and tell you to stay away from them but the hardest thing is keeping track of all the development as there's no MLS per say. I've taken hits commission wise on new developments and FSBO's but I guess you have to hope it all comes back in the end.
