Should I involve my realtor with my direct mail marketing?

[Cameron S.]

Over the past few months I've been working with a realtor to buy a multifamily house in my area. At the same time I have been sending out yellow letters to generate off market leads. I am now starting to get responses from the direct mail yellow letters and I am considering the pros/cons of involving my realtor to facilitate an off market transaction. I am a first time home buyer and my realtor knows the market/area very well, however, I may be able to negotiate a better deal if don't involve them due to realtor fees. What would you do in this situation?
