Where 2 find a reasonable buyer's agent after I've found my home?

[Alan Poon]

We found our home.  We've negotiated a price.  However, we don't have a buyer's agent, so the seller's agent thinks he's getting 6%, and he won't be reasonable.

So, I figure two can be unreasonable.  I'll sign a contract with a broker "who gets it" for the purchase of this home and this home only.  I'm offering somebody 0.5% (just over $5,000) to smile and look pretty.  Once I have an agent, he or she will demand that the commission on the home be dropped to 3.5%--3% to the seller's agent, and 0.5% for the buyer's.  I anticipate this whole endeavor won't take more than a single afternoon.  Two or three phone calls.  Not a bad hourly wage.  I'll even let him keep half of anything he negotiates down in the price.  You know the agent with mad negotiating skills who's not gonna let me overpay?  Sweet.  For every $10K he gets the seller's to knock of the price (that I've negotiated), that guy just put $5K in his pocket. I'll be happy--thrilled--to find a buyer's agent is a better negotiator than I am!!

I don't expect this thread to be a popular one; and don't care how many agents respond to tell me that I am asking to work for free.  No, I'm not.  I did all my due diligence.  I checked out the houses.  I waited through April, May, and June for the seller to accept my price.  And now somebody's gonna swoop in, clear five grand, and clear another sale.  No down side.

I don't know, but I expect you can direct message me through biggerpockets.com to tell me if you know any "part-timers" or "hobbyists" who might be willing to help me.  If biggerpockets doesn't have a direct message service, I'll delete this ad. I don't want anybody who is willing to help me be the subject of the guild's scorn.

Thanks.
