If you know what you're doing, don't use any buy side agent. It will save you thousands because you can negotiate the purchase price down by part or most of the fee that the seller would have had to pay if you did have a BA. I've done it twice. Ka-ching for me.

People should just contact the listing agent to see a house. They'll also know more about the house and seller than a BA will.
Seller’s agents legally represent the seller ONLY. Any seller’s agent who shows property to a buyer & goes on to a sale with no buyer’s representative has a conflict of interest. Your Ka-ching would be an expensive lawsuit waiting to happen for that seller’s agent.
