[quote=Anonymous]The buyside agent / no agent is somewhat of a recurring theme on DCUM - lots of posts. Typically seems to boil down to the fact that buyside agenting is NOT rocket science, and anyone that spends the time looking at listings, being diligent, and getting a real estate attorney on board can do without one, and have a chance of rebating the buyside fee. Obviously the agents don't want people to do this and don't want it to become the norm as it reduces the size of the fees for the market. Hence all these inaccurate / scaremongering posts about the market being competitive and risking overpaying.

There are some very good agents out there which add some value, but there are also some absolutely terrible agents who don't have a clue - we had our arms twisted into hiring one last year (same company as the agents that put the house onto the market) - and we would have done a much better job ourselves. If you really need to use a buyside agent, worthwhile interviewing and really diligencing them.[/quote]
