"about 3/4 of the brokers just want to move the boat at the highest price possible without disclosing any problems"
Remember, Ken, that the normal broker is what is called a "Seller's Broker" or seller's agent, and it is his legal responsibility to get the highest price he can. And by doing so, he gets himself the highest commission, so he is doubly motivated to stay ignorant and ask for more money.
There are a few, rare few, brokers that have reps for being honest and not wasting the buyer's time, but they are the exception to the rule. That's just the way it is, the broker is not your friend, he is your opponent in a zero-sum business game.
