If the seller pays the buyer is the actual one who pays.

In this case that isn't true because the seller is paying out of the full value of the house. When realtors decide give a discount (ie when working for a friend, or other marketing), the seller gets more money and the buyer doesn't see any difference.

There are other ways of looking at it where you are correct.
