Imagine you're looking for a new place to live. You go to a realtor and he starts showing you McMansions and telling you how great they are. You say: "But those are really expensive, require a ton of maintenance, and hard to sell later on" Your agent looks at you and says: "Yes but do you really went to find land, get the permits, get it developed, deal with all those contractors and deal with the inevitable problems of a new constructions? A McMansion is obviously better." The agent has apparently never heard of apartments, condos, semi-detached and so on (yet somehow holds a very strong opinion). This is a problem; you find a new agent.
