There are some shady incentives for realtors when buying a home in the US. The seller and buyer agents often know each other and talk to each other in particular areas. They do favors for one another. Sometimes it helps you, sometimes it hurts you.
I consider them very similar to car dealers, but slightly better because good ones have a network to help buyers out. The commission they get is too high though.
