She is a buyer's agent and a listing agent. The seller pays the same in most cases, regardless. She won't be losing her job. The lawsuit could change how buyer's agents are paid. There's really nothing to argue about. I'm telling you the things that buyer's agents do. Like all professions, some are good at their job and some aren't. My wife is a top agent for a reason. There are many that aren't great agents. People need to do their research. If they know what they are doing and think they can save money without an agent then go for it. But if you want guidance and don't know all the ins and outs of a real estate transaction you may want to find a good agent. As I said, in most cases (currently) it doesn't cost more.
If you do decide to have no buyer's agent, maybe ask the listing agent up front if they will discount their commission.
