The listing agent would essentially double end the deal and see both sides of the commission. The contract you sign when listing your property states the total commission that you will pay which included both sides.
I truly believe that a realtor when buying is worth the weight in gold. The real work starts after you find a property. Any average Joe can go open lock boxes and show properties...when it comes to negotiating the deal, ensuring the paperwork is proper, giving opinions on the property, neighborhood, etc... those are all potential problems that could cost you tens of thousands in the long run.
