Some 67.5% of Americans polled do not trust real estate agents, according to an online Google Consumer Surveys poll last month.

We’re not sure why Choice Home Warranty would conduct and publish such a poll, since you’d think real estate agents are among their biggest clients. Nevertheless, the survey of 1,147 adults showed more wariness among rural folks –  70.7% distrusted realty agents – than city dwellers. By age, 18- to 24-year-olds were the most distrustful. 
Midwesterners were the most trustful at 38.1%. Men and women scored about the same on the trust-o-meter.
