You don't need a buyer's agent to buy a home. Having a buyer's agent wasn't even a "thing" until the 1980s and didn't really catch on as a trend until well into the 1990's. Up until then, the ultra-wealthy employed "people" to "handle" these things for them because they were too busy counting their millions to be bothered with all the running around. The peasant stock handled the process of finding a home themselves, and secured a lawyer to work out the sales details.
Just because a buyer's agent is now all the rage, doesn't mean it must be assumed. You can pick out and arrange to buy a house all by yourself, just like people used to do before 1993.
