Can you avoid fees while self representing

Question

I am a self representing buyer,  the property I am interested in purchasing located in Indiana USA, is under list contract.  The seller has an agent for the property.
As I self represent myself and submit an offer with the required paper work : mortgage approval letter, purchase agreement and Earnest money, does the seller still pay 4 percent fees to his/her realtor since they have a listing contract?

What happens between the seller and their agent depends on the terms of their contract. Unless they show you the contract you won't know if the rate is 4% or something else. They could have a contract that allows a discount if the seller finds the buyer, they could also have a contract that still charges the full amount if the buyer doesn't have an agent.
