To use a Realtor or not to use a Realtor? This is the question that preoccupies my mind.

In the BP experience, would one say it is better to work with a Realtor to negotiate SS/Pre-foreclosure deals?

There is a property that a co-worker of mine has listed for sale, and it is a short sale. What has been the experience of investors here when working with a Realtor on a short sale deal?
