I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Why would you want to negotiate such a huge, complicated and expensive transaction on your own, when using a buyer's agent to represent you costs you nothing?". Okay, so I haven't said it this exact same way before but please don't buy a house directly from the seller, builder or listing agent unless, of course, you were a Realtor in another life. There are just too many ways in which THEY are looking out for THEIR own or their client's interests, and not yours. A buyer's agent is always looking out for you, first and foremost, and putting your interests ahead of theirs.
Sure, you may think you've gotten a better deal by cutting someone out of the transaction, but have you? Maybe the builder says he'll reduce his price by $10,000 (equal to the real estate commission) but what's $10,000 over 30 years if he/she nickel and dimes you on everything else? Or the For Sale by Owner locks you into something you overlooked on his/her contract? And that Listing Agent, even though he/she is now not a designated agent for either of you, was originally working with the seller and knows things...
By all means interview several Realtors, get referrals from trusted friends, family and co-workers, surf the Internet but do not purchase a home without representation. Would you go to court without a lawyer?
