The agent will still be in pocket because they receive commission from the broker.
When I bought my house the first deal fell through because every single letter from the agent to me, the vendor and my lawyer mysteriously disappeared, so the other potential purchaser bought the house. The other buyer had a mortgage arranged by the agent's broker. I complained to the head office and nothing happened. The agent lied to my face. He was the same one who said "It's easier to talk to you than Pakis".
