I don't know in what field you were employed, but I can guarantee there were some undesirables working in your field also. So let's get beyond that those who work in one specific field lie more than another. I've never heard of anyone selling a 7 year old rental home as new, and there are laws that protect buyers from those kind of lies.
In The Villages, I have not seen a house for sale that included the bond unless it was so stated in the listing. That isn't such a big deal because the bond is part of full disclosure. Most people don't even know what the balance is of their bond!

Exactly. RE agents are no better and no worse than other vocations. My response was to a post that claimed RE agents were above reproach. And just because you haven't heard or seen something doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I compare the exclusion of a bond on a house price ad to the car dealer agreeing to a price, then pulling out a contract with additional "costs" PRINTED on the contract. You may call that marketing or business as usual. I call it deceptive business practice.
