Possible way to avoid brokers fee

Is is possible to circumvent the brokers fee by going straight to the management office of apartment companies such as Hamilton and asking for an application? We are breaking our lease and Hamilton told us anyone we find won’t have to pay a brokers fee and gave us an application and email of one of their employees to have people send it to. This got me thinking that couldn’t anyone just go around the broker and apply through the company? And would anything bad happen if we offer the people viewing our place with brokers an option with no fee? P.S. if anyone wants a large 1 bed in Allston near BU for July 1 dm me.
