Using a real estate agent is one of the biggest rip offs ever!
Some of these people expect tens of thousands for taking some pics, listing a home on the Internet and doing some paper work. Many times the home is sold in a week or so, and these people collect $20,000, $35,000 and much more depending on the sales price. For many agents, all they do do is collect listings and sit around and wait to collect big bucks!

In some fairness, they find the buyers. That IS a benefit they bring to the table, perhaps the most important one.
