It looks to me that if you cut the buyer's agent off the deal, you are NOT
going to get any price benefit. It looks to me that only the seller will
actually benefit from you not using an agent as a buyer. This is unless
I'm missing something - I haven't sold a house yet, just bought the first
one a year ago, and my (buyer's) agent was a great convenience. He was no
help in negotiating the price though, but he was able to find some
listings in his online system.
BTW, this seems to be a hot topic. I just came across a discussion on the
same topic in another newsgroup that was posted couple days ago. If someone
's interested, here is the link:
