Can You Save Money Buying a Property Without an Agent?

Should You Buy Property Without A Real Estate Agent?

Oh boy! I get this question once every two weeks. Many inexperienced buyers think buying without representation is a good way to make money in the buy. 

“The listing agent will for sure shave 2% off his commission to help me get a deal, right?”
