[quote=Anonymous]We've tried negotiating with a realtor and got a tiny amount of money back, but the individual realtors have to go back to their bosses to get permission (so ours told us), and even in this terrible market, they wouldn't move much.

We are now using Redfin to look for a house. Love the website, which is the best, best best. It's so easy to compare houses, and they have sales history and assessments right on the site (although it's best to check with the state registry to double check in case the info isn't there, or in some cases has not been updated for some reason on the Redfin site).

The only reason I'd use a realor now is for a house that's 1) underpriced and 2) not yet listed. In that case, I'd pay the full commission.

Other than that, realtors offer me nothing. I have an inspector, I know my way around sales contracts, and in some cases, I know more than the realtor does. This will be our fifth house purchase. For a beginner, Redfin can be great, I've heard, but it will depend on the agent. Read the reviews on the site, talk directly to the agent and see what you think. For me, it's worth the savings.
