Your question is derived from the uninformed who produce comments as below. They show they know nothing about contractual obligations and only serve to give bad information to people, especially the most vulnerable like yourself who are are new to buying or selling real estate. RFD's forum has many examples of users who find themselves in a bind for doing what you ask about and what he suggests. Especially when you're a novice and you have to ask, then rest assured you're at the losing end if that seller is represented by someone who is not a novice.
Have they refused to offer you what you required? If you have a station it tends to offset some of the negatives of being next to a train line in terms of the connectivity it offers. I left next to a railway line for 6 years and it never disturbed me despite trains every five minutes all day everyday. This will help with all the closing costs you will have. Please don't sign anything until you are ready to work with an agent. Is it possible the brokerage agreement had to be adjusted?

Seller pays the seller agent, and the seller agent pays the buyer agents per contract. Listing agent has a fiduciary duty to the Seller not the Buyer. The listing agents job is to get the most money for the property not getting the Buyer a deal. In typical RFD fashion; realtors are slimy, look for one that does cashback etc etc...
Not to mention, agents can offer more "cash back" on the spot to finish up the deals. You don't save 2.5% by not using your own agent. People who are saying that have no idea how a listing agreement is structured. I think if the selling agent doesn't go for the 2.5% reduction then I'll look into getting my own buying realtor with cash back instead. And most lawyers I had to deal with is not someone that can review immediately and respond quickly. So if there are other offers, it's a tough sell to tell the seller to wait 48 hours for a reply.
Time To Lock In Your Rate
If you are moving to a new area, rent for a while and look around. It is a lot easier to shop for a house if you don't need a house right away. You can also figure out traffic patterns, investigate neighborhoods, crime etc and get an idea if it is a good fit. Then start looking at the real estate resources you get for free like the paper, listing books and the internet. I would use a real estate agent as the last resort and I would direct buy from the owner if I could.

So that agent ultimately became more interested in selling their home and giving them a "good price" on the house they wanted in order to secure the deal. Unless you know the price it should sell at or know what you will pay, using their real estate agent likely won't be of any benefit to you as the other agent is working for them. That said, Everyone wants to sell as fast as possible so you can use their agent and I've done it myself. Your REALTOR® will help you prepare your offer to the seller. The offer may be based on the selling prices of similar homes in the neighborhood and/or the condition of the home.
