"What does the agent have to do with who built it? The agent is simply trying to help the owner sell it."
How about because it can lead some unsuspecting potential buyer into a bad mistake?
True, it is not the job of a Realtor to disclose . It is the owner's legal responsibility.
All fair and good if the prospective buyer knows the questions to ask and does not rely solely on the listing agent's hype. Unfortunately this is not always the case.
More legal accountability needs to be placed on the agent.
