Any commissioned agent - buyer's or seller's are incentivized for transaction to occur.

No one is acting in your (or seller's) best interest.

However either seller's agent keeps all the commission or split it with buyer's agent. Which essentially you paying anyways, unless you find FSBO house.

So i don't think you're losing anything by having buyer's agent. Just use this person for what he/she is good at, make them work harder to give you information to help you to make an informed decision.

If your current buyers agent is lousy - call another one. You're not married to an agent. However seller is.

We used mortgage broker few years back because we had issues with credit. They do have connections that maybe beneficial.
