I'd rather save the money and deal directly with the agent selling the home.
A seller-agent repsresents the seller exclusively, and you have no representation whatsoever by dealing direcly with the seller's agent. In fact, the listing agent is prohibited by law from assisting you at all with negotiations about price, terms, or anything that could be considered a conflict of interest. The little discount or rebate you may receive is far outweighed by having a buyer-agent fighting to get the lowest price possible for you.
