Why as an agent would you not just show your buyers the house and collect the commission?

Auction.com is just trying to get a commission from the seller (bank).

That is an absolute slam dunk and we have zero interest into doing a commission structure such as the big 3 are doing.

(I don’t recommend Quicken at all, the loan officer I dealt with with was extremely pushy and dishonest and refused to listen to what exactly I wanted and just tried to sell me the only product they offered so he wouldn’t lose his commission).

Again I'm commission only, but I recently heard that FreddieMac/AnnieMac changed their lending guidelines for self-employed and that 1 year could also be sufficient. 

The idea of switching from a steady hourly pay to commission is a bit scary.

I'm planning to stash my commissions to help build down payment money for my own brrrr buy and holds, much like wholesalers often plan to use the capital for more traditional investments, but being within the law, I'll be able to network and build connections without being shady.

You want your property to be viewed by the largest buyer pool and although saving 6% in commission sounds great you would lose a large portion of motivated buyers because your property is not on their agent's radar.
