When the market is hot and when you feel the realtor is "not needed", there will always be realtors you can negotiate.
1) Don't need u to open house, i can open, you (mr. realtor) don't need to show up.
2) Don't need you to stage.
3) I can take pics of my apartment.
4) Don't need to put my listings on your newspaper ad.
5) Just need you to do documents, and post listings.
6) You can bring your assistant (MLS realtor) to sign contract / listing.
My dad was understanding as a realtor; clients came knowing what they want and he agreed, if you don't need my value, then we can determine a fair but fixed rate on commission and bam, done deal.
