Buyers and sellers are adults, not little children. Although you’d never know it by reading these childish “every realtor is scum†posts.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. People need to be responsible, but realtards can and do hurt people.

How convenient of you to leave the realtors , brokers, etc. out of the transaction.
They have a huge influence in buy and sell transactions when it comes to real estate.
They have a conflict of interest which creates a bad situation for the buyer.

It reminds me of my RE course when I asked about the conflict of interest due to the seller paying the commission, and how higher or lower amounts going to the buyer's agent could get them to steer their clients to different houses in a completely self-serving manner. She said "we don't force or convince them what they should buy," and I was like "then what the hell are you there for?"
They like to have it both ways: you will suffer if you don't use our services/expertise, and our services/expertise cannot possibly influence your decision.

Who else is a real estate agent (all inclusive) out there? I would like to hear your defence.

There is much venom directed at real estate agents around here. We also have at least a few realtors who post semi-regularly, and I am sure there are some in the real estate profession who read this site from time to time, but do not post.
There is an old saying that "nice guys finish last". The trustworthy, honest, hard-working types - the sort of people I would normally prefer to work with; these are not exactly the best qualities for a salesperson, whether they are selling toasters, cars, houses, whatever.
Just my two cents.
