I've bought and sold 9 properties over the years without using an agent and never had a single problem. I had one for sale by owner and a realtor approached me saying he had a buyer but would need a contract to pay commission. When I said I'll pay commission if you sell the place to the client waiting in the wings but refused to give him a 12 month exclusive listing he left in a huff. I was vetting agents to sale a lot for $50k when a highly rated realtor swore the lot would never bring more than $30k and that's what we should list it for. I told her to get out of my office because she was planning to buy the lot and get a commission to. I listed it with another agent and sold it for $47k within 90 days. Did I mention I have a low opinion of realtors and con men?
