Why you want to shaft the nice young RE agent, Denis?????

Normally you do not want to purchase from the listing agent. In theory, you won't be represented correctly in what is typically a risky, complex transaction. The buyer's agent works on your behalf, and with supposed expert knowledge of the property and market in general. The buyer's agent helps you negotiate a fair price based on the property's condition and other market factors. The listing agent doesn't care about these factors. He only wants to sell the house. That's the theory, anyway. I've had buyer's agents work on my behalf and do some pretty ruthless negotiating that have saved me tens of thousands in purchase prices.
