It's 89% of sellers who use an agent and 87% of buyers who use an agent, according to the National Association of Realtors, 2018:I can't find any statistics on the issue. But I don't know anyone that has used a buyer's agent and my circle of acquaintances isn't small and has purchased a lot of homes.
Yep, 87% of 2017 sales.

What is not common are dual agents, who work for both the seller and the buyer on the same transaction, for reasons that should be apparent.
