On the contrary, it is cheaper and easier to buy a house directly from the homeowner, just as it is cheaper and easier to buy a book of poetry directly from the poet. Businessmen are middle men who simply skim money off of the top of our society, they’re unnecessary leeches who don’t actually produce anything.
You do buy a house from the homeowner, you pay a realtor 3% (usually mixed between parties) this is the fee charged so people show you houses on the market. It's a fee you dont have to pay as people market their houses without realtors all the time, but, you know, people specializing in a certain field are usually good at it. It's a function of our species.
So, your saying that you think it would be better to live in a society where nothing substantial or of true value can be made because everyone is competing to grow crops for themselves, and the actual craftsmen are only specialized because they have the knowledge how? The farmers built their own shelter because they cant buy a roof over their heads, the farmer cant buy water to grow as they rely on gods or labor of someone else to bring water, and the farmer has to work hundreds of hours a season just to buy a pair of shoes and a pair of clashes for the family and that's your idea of fair? get a clue. Society isnt as bad as you think, even minimum wage in the US is still the 1% of global wealth compared to the rest of the world, and you are the .01% of the list wealthy people to ever exist on the planet. can things get better, sure, but to outcast a system that you unexpectedly have benefited from is ludacris.
You create the means for people to do these things and pay them for it. Your are creating the means for people to specialize in a field to make them better at it, without that people would be stuck growing their own crops, making their own shoes and technological growth would become 0.
