REALTORS® are bound by a Code of Ethics, and must always act in the best interest of the client (you).
In the extremely unlikely case that a REALTOR® would violate this code, other REALTORS® would immediately act to sanction the offender and provide relief to the victim.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, breath, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.
In all seriousness, IF you signed a contract or something to work with him, read it. If you didnt, ask him to submit the offer or step-a-side so you can work with someone who will actually work WITH you. Only submitting offers he personally approves of cant be considered in your best interest.
IN my totally UNinformed opinion (I have never met the guy), this guy sounds like a RE pollyanna. He prob feels that the reason prices are falling is that RE agents like him are not communicating the true value of whatever is in discussion and are submitting lowball, BS offers. If no one submitted these lowball BS offers, prices would go “back to where they belong” (ie 2005+) and the recession and all the bad stuff would end tomorrow.
He also sounds kinda snobby. I met one of these guys last weekend at an open house. Jerk started openly dissing Mira Mesa, even though I had already told him I lived there. The low ball stuff may just ruffel his feathers, same some ‘housewifes of OC’ types may look down at buying something on sale. ‘If it isnt full price, there must be something wrong with it’ type of thinking.
