I'm not sure Myke was trying to be mean. I'm a home buyer as well and asked myself the same question. Only until I learned what a buying agent can do for you and how they can protect your best interests did I realize why a buying agent is really necessary. Initially, I had Myke's outlook too but now I would not recommend anyone go through this process without an agent. Our agent has been invaluable. - Sat Jul 12 2008, 05:57
