How do I negotiate a fair price with the Seller without paying $30 to domania.com? I pay the $30 if I have to but just want to know if there are other alternatives.

I would also like suggestions. I have gone to all the sites mentioned here, but they don't appear to say the square footage or how many bedrooms -- so it's really hard to compare. If I subscribe to any of these, such as property shark or dominia, will I be able to get this info?
Also, I was checking out a site called Trulia.com -- and the first time I logged on they gave me the date houses were listed -- so I could see if they had been on the market a while. Now when I log on they don't give me that info. Can I ask my realtor to find that out for me? I am a little wary of trusting realtors, I must admit. The realtor who just sold my apartment was really kind of wacko -- and everyone I've encountered since doesn't seem completely with it, either.
