I’ll do what I’ve done the last three times I’ve purchased: Use the web (ZipRealty.com) to find what I want AND have my agent take care of the rest. I don’t mind having an agent when I’m on the buying side. The seller pays the cost.
(I know, you can theoretically save by buying direct from a seller without an agent, but if I find what I want I’d prefer that the deal actually gets closed. Agents looking for their commissions tend to help make sure things follow through).
