I recently viewed a spec home with my wife that's been on the market for a few months. We'd like to try and negotiate down from the list price as we feel its a bit high. When I told the builders sales agent that I may involve a Realtor that we had been working with recently (but wasn't with us that day), she said that would affect the ability for us to negotiate things as the commission would take some of that savings from us so to speak.

I figured the commission would already be built in to the price but perhaps I may be wrong on this. Does anyone know if this is true? Also are people who buy spec homes without a Realtor at more risk?
