The builder will also know they won't pull anything over on the buyer if he has a realtor.

A realtor might also accept a lower commission if there is not a lot of work involved.

I don't think price is the only important thing to be negotiated. Builder's contracts are notoriously one-sided. It's a buyers market, and you may be able to get concessions you would not have got one year ago (extras, late interest etc).
