Real Estate ? Would you rather deal with broker or owner?

So, DH and I found a place that looks really interesting and I really want to see it in person.

Here's the weird thing.
There are two listings for the same place!
1. listing is by owner
2. listing is by the realtor

the listing by the owner says that if you deal with them directly, you can negotiate a better deal.

Now, we're newbies at this. Would you deal directly with the owners OR deal with their selling agent?

Thank you for the advice!!! That really helps. My parents have an attorney so I may use him to look over everything or my friends have used a few good attorneys for their recent home closings!!
I'm excited to see the place. It's in Forest Hills. Crossing fingers!!!

i can recommend a good lawyer; he's cute too.

hahaha. I was TOTALLY thinking of Bill
