His answer was to the effect, "No, because I think you will really like what the new homes have to offer over the resales."

I then told him to take me straight back to the office and suggested he might want to use the remainder of the day in lining up an appointment with an audiologist, because there was obviously something wrong with his hearing.

At that point is when I realized that they were not actually realtors, simply glorified sales people. the same as a car sales person, who tries to sell a new car instead of letting you review their used vehicles.

It seems clear their primary purpose is to sell the developer's new homes. Resales take a back seat or even a rumble seat to that.
