Hey all,

My wife in I are looking for a multi-family property in Salt Lake County and we have been using a realtor. As we have gone through our search and mentioned it to our friends and family, all of them have discouraged using a realtor, because it ends up costing way more money than it should. Additionally, there is a huge fad going around Utah with Homie, which advertises that it has streamlined the process and lowered agent commissions.

Long story short, I'm having a hard time deciding if it is worth going at it alone vs. having an agent. We are first time buyers but have some book smarts due to schooling background and whatnot.

In your opinion, is getting an agent worth it? What are the pros and cons? Apologies in advance if I botched some terminology or seem really uneducated. We're first timers!

Thank you!
