I actually tried buying a place without a realtor, and this ended up being a huge PITA. I'd call the listing realtor, and leave a message with the broker's main answering service. Then, two days later, I'd get a call back offering 2 times that weren't convenient to me to go see the place. I also got the privilege of talking each realtor down from trying to sign me up as their client. Lots of fun.
When I go with a buyer's agent I call me Realtor's direct cell line, and arrange all the times for the places I want to see, and I go see them all in quick succession.
