If the listing agent/broker is not cooperating you will need to take it up the chain. Contact the seller's title company and then the seller directly if their title company doesn't help.

I recommend it. I think it would be much more difficult to find and analyze deals without your license and access to the MLS. Some of the pros and cons have been mentioned above and I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
Another con to consider though, is your increased liability when you buy and sell properties when representing yourself. I recommend you check with your potential broker's E&O insurance carrier to see if being the agent for the purchase or sale of your own properties is covered under their policy.
Good luck!
