Having just gone through this recently, I would highly recommend getting a Realator. We did not have a "buyer's" realator because it was not our first house and I knew exactly what I was looking for. In hindsight I wish I did concidering the time and extra Lawyer cost I put into it.
They are going to know the area and have a better idea of what may be on the market soon and what Banks are looking for. Something to keep in mind is, a bit of a commute is not always a bad thing, but if you can control the direction or difficulty of the commute that makes life better
Happy hunting
