One of the biggest reasons one needs a agent to buy real estate is you pretty much want to go look at the home before offering on it don't you? Well, try to get into a home for sale without a real estate agent and see what happens especially if it has a lock box on the door.

How about contacting the seller yourself and setting up an appointment with him/her? Leave a note with your phone number in his mail boxs and inform the seller that you would like to get together and take a look at what he has to sell.
People all over the world do that and they make a point of keeping these agents out even though there are constant attempts by these agencies to monopolize the markets just like they did here.
