Cons: Other than THAT, just about everything. She is doing squat. Gone are the days when agents helped you FIND a home (we're doing that ALL on our home), so why are they going to get 20 grand?
So..... Has anyone bought a home recently where their agent actively helped, using their knowledge of the area, find a home?

We bought ours 8 years ago and our agent was very helpful - every step of the way. Told me which bank would be best to finance through, put me in touch with the best surveyors, etc. I was on the phone all day for a week, but we got it done! I would use this particular guy again, if we needed to.
