We built a new home almost two years ago and were in a similar situation except we kept our old place as a rental. Our builder told us we'd have more room for negotiating on the price if we didn't use a realtor (to represent us on the new build). It paid off, we saved thousands and just dealt directly with the builder.
In your case you'd need to figure out if the commission savings from selling your current place (using their realtor) would be higher than the savings off the purchase price of the new build you'd get for not using a realtor
