Emily,
When you use a buyer's agent to represent you, you will not be paying any commission to him or her in almost all circumstances. The REALTOR'S commission is typically paid by the seller....so instead of looking for a REALTOR who will discount their commission, you should be looking for an agent who will represent you effectively. That means, you want an agent that you can trust, who is an excellent listener, an agent who has excellent systems in place, has a track record of getting home transactions to a smooth closing and an agent who is an excellent negotiator. "Writing the offer" is a small part of what you really need.
We would be happy to represent you as your buyer agent and guide you to a successful home purchase. Check us out at http://www.VeenstraTeam.com. We have helped over 1050 families successfully purchase and sell homes -- many of them more than once. You can read many comments about our service to them on our website.
