Yes, but it is a bit of work. I wouldn't mind using a realtor for their experience in the field, but 6% is absolutely bonkers for most normal house purchasing processes. Their work simply isn't that valuable and is being kept at that level due to non-competitive practices. If the realtor just shows me the home and does a little negotiating and some paperwork for me....maybe $2k at most for that service, but $12k for a $200k house? Ridiculous.
