Racer5, I haven’t read TG’s old posts but have no doubt that he was “represented” by the selling agent (as EconProf suggested to do) if he “went without a realtor.” In a resale property marketed on the MLS which has an accepted offer, ALL parties are “represented” by agent(s) or broker(s). As a buyer, if you choose to enter into a “dual agency” with a listing agent/broker, their primary fiduciary duty will lie with the seller’s best interests, NOT yours.
