Group 1 - The core issue revolves around real estate agents hiring individuals to pose as buyers to negotiate lower prices, which undermines market integrity and trust between buyers and sellers [1][2] - The practice of hiring "shills" by agents serves three main purposes: meeting company viewing quotas, applying psychological pressure on sellers, and altering sellers' price expectations to facilitate transactions [1][2] - This behavior reflects a shift in the real estate market dynamics, where agents now work to lower prices in a buyer's market, contrasting with previous practices where they encouraged sellers to raise prices [2] Group 2 - The commission structure for real estate agents is typically a percentage of the sale price, which incentivizes them to manipulate price information to maximize their earnings [2] - The transparency issue in the market is highlighted by the recent actions of certain agencies, such as hiding transaction prices, which raises concerns about market integrity and can lead to panic selling among consumers [3] - The lack of price transparency, intended to prevent market panic, may instead exacerbate market issues by misleading participants about actual market conditions [3]
