In that scenario you wouldn't pick a buyers agent you'd go directly to the listing agent. They'd represent both parties in that example. I'd imagine maybe the seller can negotiate the commission down since the selling agent is getting both sides.

I'd argue we'll still need buyers agents in the future but not as many. If you already know the area and what you want then just look, pick a home and contact the listing agent.

If you need someone familiar with the area who can guide and negotiate on your behalf then you'll want a buyer's agent.

I think we can have both scenarios, no?
