I thought it was common for sellers to pay the closing costs? The agent must have given me bad advice then.

Thankfully, on my own (with no help from agent), I decided to build the costs into the home price.

Buyers are still using agents in our day and age of Zillow and other online services where you can directly make appointments to view properties and create a list of open houses? I remember using a buyer agent during the days of MLS when listings were not publicly available online.
