The realtor for buying is free to you so definately use one.
I'd be carefull with that. Double dippers will often not give you the most honest advice, because they want you to buy that home instead of other potentials. Only do that if you're really into that particular property.

Getting your own selling agent will help you get an honest opinion on all availible homes, because they don't have a personal stake in any of them.
