Potential buyer here...
I use the our local MLS listing online and our county property appraiser website which gives home stats, previous transactions, and recent sales for the areas we are interested in. We have narrowed our choices down to 3 homes. When we are ready to make an offer, we might contact an agent. We will have done the necessary footwork, and all that we expect from an agent is to handle the paperwork. We also have educated ourselves on the "paperwork", and have a reputable home inspector, surveyor, etc. who we trust to do well by us. Really we are getting to the point, where we might feel comfortable not using an agent, and just have real estate attorney to cover our assets instead.

Curious to see the numbers on City Data users to see if they match the projected 80%+ that NAR and NAHB estimate?
The numbers might be skewed just a little since you're asking this question on an Internet site. Probably the folks that don't start their search on the Internet are probably not City-Data posters.

I figured they might be a bit one sided and one would have to take that into consideration.
