I ask because my realtor is very adamantly against us buying a home we like but it's for sale by owner. The owner is not financing it.

They will only get a commission if you go through them.

In theory, for sale by owner, bypasses the real estate agent and their 7% cut. But, you still need to find someone to check out the house, make sure there isn't something seriously wrong with it.
