A real estate agent told me he could help negotiate the price and get us the better deal on a newly built home. The real estate agents at the builders location says they can get me a better deal if I don’t have a realtor. Who is blowing smoke? Do I actually get a better price if I go with a realtor or without?

We are just beginning the home buying process. We have no home to sell (first time buyers) and were thinking of getting a real estate agent.

Does becoming a licensed real estate agent/broker before buying your home save you money?

I am planning to buy a home around $700K in New York City. I’m wondering if I will save any money by becoming a licensed real estate agent/broker (I realize I have to take the test and pass) and then purchasing the home for myself. I would think that by doing this, I would save the broker commission that I would otherwise be paying another real estate agent/broker. Is this a valid assumption? Please provide any information about this. Thanks a lot.
