NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
This is a general statement and doesn't apply to a specific region.
How about when they list the bedrooms incorrectly?
For example, they list the house as 4 bedroom, but in reality it is a 3 bedroom.
How about when they list the square footage incorrectly. (I'm not talking about the builder and refi appraiser difference) I am talking about adding square footage to a home without the proper permit.

 
90% of real estate agents don't have a clue.  You can become one after just 135 hours of education and passing a test.  I've asked real estate agents how much square footage a home was during an open house or what the mello roos were and only half actually knew.  Successful real estate agents are the ones who spend money on marketing (on Zillow and other places) and are good at deceiving people.  If you were in their shoes would you wait 2 weeks to sell a home and pocket $20,000 in commission or work 3-4 months to maybe get $22,000 in commission?  You can see why a real estate agent would tell a seller that their home is really worth $650,000 instead of $700,000.  The same happens on the buyer's side.  They'll tell you that X is a really good deal and you should make a strong offer or just flat out lie and say that there's multiple offers over asking.  A real estate agent's opinion will always be that the home is beautiful and it's a really good deal.  You'll never ever find a real estate agent that disagrees with you and says that it's a terrible home.  If you were in their shoes would you really want to unlock dozens of doors for 3-4 months and not make a commission or unlock maybe 3 homes and collect $20,000?

I've seen transactions where 500-1,500 sqft were added out of thin air.  Some people have no conscience.  Always be skeptical of the square footage of a home.  Even property records might be false. 
 
Here's good one from an old thread.

Haha that's hilarious.  Only 1 hour to the Mexico boarder since you'll be flying in your "1%center" helicopter shouting "I made it" all the way down the coast.  All those people who didn't make it will be wondering how in the world to get from Irvine to Mexico in an hour.
 
Haha. this agent is hilarious. What does she mean by best school district in the state sits like a cherry on top of a delicious desert? Does she mean" Floats like fresh boba where the cream rises to the top." I guess I didn't make it as my driver's license doesn't show an "IRVINE" address. sniff sniff** :( 

She also forgot to add., "Only 5 hour flight from Johns Wayne to Johns Creek."

Re: all the VCs that made it are moving to Irvine - I know they look similar but I think he means People's Liberation Army instead of Viet Cong.

VC = Venture Capitalist.  ;)


Edit:  Sorry I miss your sarcasm, I pretty sure you already knew what VC stands for.
