Yeah - real estate agents have the sellers interests at heart almost exclusively. Why the buyer should pay for this is beyone me.
One would think there's a market for a flat fee sellers agent to guide and help people through this process - from finding a home to finding a means to pay through it to seeing the legal details through. That's capitalism, right? If you don't have the knowledge to do it yourself you pay someone - either who has the knowledge or when you get inevitably screwed.
