Went looking for a house with a realtor. He didn't really stay in our price range and when he did, it was usually a run down house. We actually found the house that we bought ourselves. Plus side is that he took us around on the weekend and led us through the offer with ease. No cost for buyers, of course. That's a plus. I don't think that I would go back to them for the next house.
PROS: Courteous service
CONS: don't abide by customer specifications
