The only reason not to use them, is that sometimes they will show you
properties that will fetch them the highest commission, rather then the
ones matching your needs.

Otherwise - why not, the seller pays, not you.

They get a cut of the sales price. The higher the price.. Which means
you pay too. Also, without the 2nd agent, the overall 'agent's cut' is
lower. And since you are paying the price, again, you pay.
