We used to do agents, but this last time we did a real estate broker who is also a lawyer. They did a flat rate of $5000 and the seller paid the 6%, so we basically got $12,000 off our closing costs (e.g. points).
Their rates have gone up quite a bit ($8,000 for sellers; $9,000 for buyers), but we'll still use them when we sell because the old way is dumb as shit. I think we'll upgrade next year and it'll probably save us ~$35,000.

Stupidly, the listing agent refused to talk to me and asked I have my agent call him. Dumbass. I will never use a realtor again, if I can help it.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
