How many people have gone this route and had success? It seems like it may be a decent option because some signs point to the realtor being more willing to push the sellers on a low offer since they are getting double commission. Plus I am pretty picky and the only purpose for a realtor would be the paper work, I don't need someone showing me houses at random because Ive probably already seen it on Realtor.ca and if I didn't already want to see it then there would be no point.
