They will know the local code, the political players and hot buttons, and what you should push hard for vs. lay off of in negotiations.

A broker who does as you described would get a pretty bad rep pretty quickly.If Cam's statement is true she did not make an offer in writing then she can just get her own broker who will right the deal the seller pays the commissions normally. although in ultra hot markets that may not be the case but I suspect things are not that hot in AL  I do a lot of business in AL  and yes there is competition from hedge funds for cash flow homes in some markets but anyone can buy a home especially if its MLS listed its not like this is San Francisco were you get 20 offers on a listing and its an all out bidding war.
