[quote=thebazman]What about houserebate.com or Zip Realty? How do those compare to a Realtor for viewing and buying houses?
Also, I realize that Realtors get compensated by commission on the sale of the house, but prior to that if there is a lot of driving around that costs them money to show the properties. If I am still “looking” would it be recommended to compensate said Realtor for time and gas if I am not totally sure about buying but still want to see the inside of some properties?

I would go with a realtor on this site, they actually pay attention to the market, they don’t go to their weekly pep talk and use that as all their info.
