I will be moving to Chapel Hill/Carrboro in early spring 2017. I plan to rent a 2/2 house or townhouse. I realize there are numerous websites that list rentals (Zillow, Trulia, ChapelHillRent, etc), and was wondering if it's necessary or more advantageous to work with a real estate agent. And, if so, what's the best way to find a good real estate agent? Many thanks for any advice.

No - in fact most established agents probably wouldn't work with rentals. If you're looking for location/neighborhood advice, post your questions here, lots of knowledgeable people including some real estate agents who will likely be happy to help out.
We just rented a home in Raleigh. We had used a real estate, but when we started wife was only considering purchase and I was considering rental only. we eventually decided on rental, but real estate agent demeanor went south very quickly...
You should at least be able to get one to set up a search for rentals for you.
