No, they almost always make a commission.
Technically the commission comes from the seller. In the sales contract it typically says what the distribution is, like 3% to the buyer's agent and 3% to the seller's. In California, 2.5% / 2.5% is common.
Occasionally a seller will try to sell "by owner" and not offer a commission to the buyer's agent, but that's still pretty rare.
