Plenty of sellers aren't very aware and they allow listing contracts to be set-up such that their agent gets the full commission even if there is no agent on the buy side. That is nuts.
Even if the sellers let the contract get created that way, the listing agent
still has an incentive to reduce the fee they take if they think it will make the trade happen. I've purchased twice in this manner and both times the listing agent coughed back commission (they still got their 2 or 3% from the seller but, not 5%). That helped me and the seller...like I mentioned above.
