Where in the USA are you? I haven't bought a new house in a while but most car dealerships (at least mine) gets me an online booking appointment for the same day or next day. Doctors sick appointment - mostly same day. I've never interacted with a sales agent for buying stuff. I agree with you on housing. The agents charge commission and closing costs and closing companies do charge quite a bit.
