Get an agent that you are friends with to make the offer.

Do not let listing agent double up on negotiations, it does not work out well.

This isn't the case at all in my experience. Just don't be a pushover, often times if you use the listed agent you can knock 1% or more off of their commission. Tell them bluntly I'll make my offer through you for 4% or I'll call my guy for 5%.
