I found you a great agent!
www.mls.ca. He works really cheap!
Seriously though, I would only use a buyer's agent if I felt that the agent had access to properties not likely to be listed on the MLS system. That's rules out about 90% of all properties sold in the GTA. By using an agent you are potentially scaring off listing agents who would have to split a commission on a sale. It's only human nature for a listing agent to want to keep the full commission so why not go in there unemcumbered?
Be smart, use common sense and ask your lawyer any serious questions. The listing agent will happily give you comp data I'm sure but just remember that he owes a duty to the seller not you.
Good luck!
