Getting your own realtor is a good idea. Sometimes bureaucracy sucks, but sometimes having that extra link in the chain can get you a much better deal.
I find it weird that anyone with their house on the market that long would balk at lowering the price- unless it's over mortgaged and your offer would not pay back their mortgage.
If you ever decide you want to branch out into owning rentals, I'll sell you my rental house. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that after working full time in a rental house office, going home and doing more of the same isn't fun.
