A buyers agent showed me that they helped buy homes 5% lower than similar homes sold a month apart. I agreed to the north of 2.5% buyers commission without cash back or other offers. I worked with them for a couple of months 1. They didn't want to bid under even though a home sat on the market for weeks 2. They didn't want to show me new constructions 3. While I was working with them, they bought a home for another client 8% below a similar home sold a month ago.
