经纪人的建议helps,但是definitely doesn't provide the level of details I'm asking for (大牌的经纪人没空理小客户,小牌的经纪人见客户就上,都不可能为单个一般客户多花时间); plus I don't really trust them and I'll double-check everything. 加在一起,经纪人的作用对于偶个人来说有点鸡肋: Personally I can do the house hunting myself, but I do want to have professional help when it comes down to title search and escrow.
偶也不明白为什么有人要找如山的麻烦(maybe I don't know everything)。Free is always good to me. I don't necessarily believe it but it's definitely not bad to have it available.
