I'm pretty savvy, and know that i can find the comps and sales prices of nearby homes on the county's tax assesor website. i also understand that the 3% commission is a seller cost for the builder, but I'm the one buying the house, so that's actually me paying the commission.....i feel like if i don't have a realtor, i can negotiate that 3% off my price and save about 50 bucks on my mortgage.... what do you think? should i go in and try to get the deal i want, and if i can't get that deal, go hire a realtor to negotiate for me???? thanks!
on a side note, a friend of mine who just moved into the neighborhood i'm looking at hired a realtor and he basically disappeared after contracting and just showed up at closing. i would want someone who's there for the whole process.
