Do you always use a Real Estate agent for purchases?

We own two STR properties and a commercial property and are looking to buy our fourth property. We found the home we want to purchase, it's new construction already completed and we know the market and numbers work. We are questioning whether or not we need to work with a realtor at this point. We are architects and have inspected the property, deed restrictions etc. Feels like they wouldn't be a value add. The seller is also not using a sellers agent. At this point the paperwork would be minimal to get under contract, we are good with the price we have already negotiated. Thoughts?

I buy and sell without a realtor whe ever possible.

When selling I pass the realtor fee not used to the buyer.
