Why would the buyer save some $$$? It's the seller who would save $$$,
and he has no reason to give any of that to the buyer.

It would go something like this:

Seller and agent list house for $100,000. Agent gets 7% ($7000) if it
sells. Buyer pays $100,000 and seller gets $93,000.

Buyer off the street comes in and says to seller "I will buy for
$95,000 straight up and screw the agent." Buyer pays $95,000 ($5000
less) and seller gets $95,000.($2000 more).
