Agreed with Karen...If you're experienced, your chances of success working directly with the owner/agent is increased.Of course, also like Karen said, if you aren't experienced, you could get taken advantage of this way...and may want your own agent just to protect your interests.

I work as a software engineer and getting to work with my hands is a nice difference.

I am seeking the wisdom of the people who are experienced in this area.
