Feeling disappointed in my Buyer's Agent. Has she been following her fiduciary duty?

So we have a site set up where my preferences are supposed to filter in houses that look good to me based on price, features, and location. I asked her to have a wide range, including houses that may need the lower end renovation mortgage, all the way up to 350k. Pretty much all of the houses that show up are 300k and above. I mark those houses as "possible" or "favorite" and reject some that are 55+ etc (I am not 55+), and nothing ever comes of it, she never checks the site or anything. So I have ended up looking at homes on Zillow and Redfin, and just send her listings from there. Then I have to text her that I've sent her an email for her to notice. So last week I had sent her 3 houses, and when she called me about them she immediately told me one was under contract and she knew that because she put an offer in a month ago and it was under contract then. So I'm kind of like... wtf.. bc that house was livable, 260k, and about 3 blocks from where I live now so it was convenient. She said she put an offer in on that house because she's always looking at investment properties because she's a realtor, and I should expect that... uhmmm what??? Can someone tell me if I'm crazy or if that seems not very ethical?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
