Submitting an offer unrepresented-agent wants a fee

Hi all! I am trying to submit an offer to a listing agent and I would like to be unrepresented. I asked her if she would be able to do the paperwork for me. She said the seller would pay 1% and I would be charged a $500 fee. This feels strange. How do I get around this?

You don't, if you have the agent doing paperwork then they are performing a service for you and you should pay for it.
