The listing broker works for the seller of the house, and is obligated to get them the best price. The listing broker can have a conflict of interest by representing the seller AND you (the buyer). We provide you with all the sale comparables to make the most intelligent offer. The listing broker is not likely to give you a rebate due to their overhead structure.
