If you’re the buyer the one kissing arse and getting screwed is you.

I sold a home this way (fsbo with a realtor bringing a client). I had 1000% leverage once the realtor was double dipping.
If you’re a FSBO the agent isn’t double dipping. Unless as a FSBO you were dumb enough to pay them a commission for selling it too.

It is obvious that your opinion is 100% slanted. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

I raised the price to covet the realtor.
I raised the price for some repairs.
And I flat out refused some other ridiculous repair recommendations from a clueless home inspector (who wanted a masonry engineer to look at the weeping lines which had dirt in them from dirt dobbers. He thought it was concrete bleeding through).

You can continue along scoffing at things you know nothing about or you can read other people's experiences quietly and "take it or leave it" as you see best fits you.

The one most likely to walk away and kill the deal has the leverage over the crappy double dipping realtor.

The realtor is 100% motivated to convince the other party that closing this deal is the best option (bird in hand to the seller equals 2 in hand for the realtor).
