I think you need to put on your big boy pants next time you visit. Last year TV sales agents sold total of 4000 plus homes, about 50% were new and 50% were resales. If a TV agent refuses to show you resales (I don't believe this) simply walk into any TV sales office and state loudly "I want a new agent"

You will get one.
