Agents who do that should be also held liable in some way.

Heck, just look at the lawyer in "The Jungle" who -- when consulted on a question of contract on an abusive housing agreement -- turned out to be quite chummy with the selling agent.
So, yeah, BETTER AGENTS! isn't the answer. Especially when the agents can still mess up, or do the wrong thing, or make a mistake, or have a bad day, or be fraudulent or stupid or evil or Cthullu. I mean, the whole idea that "well, YOU shouldn't have signed an abusive contract", is so wrapped up in victim-blaming that it makes me weary just thinking about it.
