Representing myself as a first-time primary home buyer

[Adam Azam]

I have purchased OOS rental properties but always used an agent. Now that my wife and I are looking to buy a primary home in a HCOL city, I am considering representing us as an agent since I hold a license here. We know the neighborhoods inside out and my father is a home inspector who will inspect for us. With our price target of around $1M, we potentially save 25k-30k (minus broker split) in commissions.

My wife is uncomfortable representing us since I have no experience as an agent. What are your thoughts?
