I would go both ways, so to speak; utilize both MLS Realtors and TV agents (who, as I understand it, are not Realtors). Based on my experiences in the past one never knows where and how the home one ultimately purchases will turn up.

I have heard that TV's agents are paid higher commissions for the sale of new homes. After all, any developer stays in business by selling its inventory. My personal experience with a TV agent reflects this belief. Therefore, if a person wishes to pursue looking at TV's resales I suggest he/she seek out a TV agent willing and able to show and sell resales. Check their track record for selling resales.
