I just started talking to an agent about buying a house and among the listings she sent me, one was above the price range that I specified by 50K but she included a note in the email saying that it had been on the market a while and that she knew the seller would come down to my price range. After looking at her listings on the company's website, I see that it is her listing. I have no doubt this is unethical, but is it also illegal? While it doesn't hurt me, I don't want to work with someone that would break the law.
