If you don't like the used car salesman types but are intrigued by $$$ in real estate, then simply avoid those areas of RE that are transaction based. Investigate the ownership, development or value add/re-positioning side of it.
Sure you will have transactions when you buy and sell, but generally speaking, the larger the asset, the longer between transactions. Find a great broker, monetarily prove your loyalty to him, and the sleaze side of it will greatly decrease. Your only challenge will be in sorting through the level of lying/deception by the seller with regard to deferred maintenance and economic occupancy.
