Can buyer/seller real estate agent collude?

Hi. Wondering if the buyer real estate agent and seller real estate agent can collude to get a higher price for a home. We're looking to buy a place, and our agent is friends with the seller's agent. Sometimes it feels like our agent is collaborating with the seller's agent to get the place sold at a higher price rather than working in our best interest. We're first time buyers and the agents are similar ages to us. I hope that our agent is advocating for us, but sometimes I wonder.
