Hello CP,

This may be better suited for realtor thread, but better traffic here.

I am requesting some real estate advice.

I am looking at purchasing a brand new home(having it built). The homebuilder said that if I use their realtor to sell my current home(asking about $380k), I won't have to pay my realtor to sell, just have pay the buyer's realtor. This will save me about $7500 plus I get free staging. My new home will be about 500k. A similar spec home the builder has for sale has an asking price of 511k. The spec home did not appear to have any better extras other than a bigger pie lot. My question is, will it be worth it in the long run to get my own realtor to sell my current home and negotiate a better purchasing price for my new home?
