Last summer, when Albert Fox Cahn told his then-girlfriend that he had just hired a real-estate agent to help him buy an apartment, her response annoyed him: "Sounds like a scam." But he quickly learned how foolish he was, and how right she was. Three months later, when he bought his Brooklyn apartment, he ended up being his own agent. In the coming years, with real-estate agents facing pressure from sites like Zillow and from the National Association of Realtors' agreeing to an industry-shifting $418 million price-fixing settlement in March, it's likely that a lot more people will represent themselves. That's because commission splitting may soon be a thing of the past. Read more about why it's time to be your own real-estate agent at the link in our bio.

Buyer: have an agent asked you to pay 2-3% for representation?

The recent lawsuits excuse the seller from paying commissions to both buyer and seller agent- meaning now buyer agent needs to get paid from the buyer.

Since the buyer is already coming up with downpayment, closing fees, inspection fees, etc - this will be a tough ask.

Can the buyer work with NO Agent, but instead with an attorney?

Buyer can make their own appointments of properties he/she wants to see (if the listing agent ever answers, but that’s a different topic). Attorneys can write up a contract -better than any agent ever could-, and colab with Title to close.
