Realtor needed?

I was offered the opportunity to buy a duplex at 95K, at the time I thought that was a little to high for that market. Recently the owner has made a few upgrades and listed it with an agent for 105K, he knows its not going to sell at that price. We started talking again and I said I would be interested at 87K. He said make an offer. It has to go through the agent now because he listed it. Does it behoove me to have my agent make the offer for me? I believe the buyers agent gets paid from the sellers' list costs.. is that true? Or am I adding cost to the transaction?
