<prompt> Human: Our real estate agent showed us a home that my wife and I really like for many reasons. Its in a nice area, its the size we want, and the price is right if we get it a little under the list.Our only concern is that the real estate agent is helping sell the home.What are the pros and cons of this situation? Does the real estate agent have any reason to help out one party more than the other?  <response>: Pros: Real estate agent gets more money as heshe doesnt need to split the commission.Cons: Everything else.A trustworthy agent will advise you to get a buyers agent, or even recommend one to you.
