Very easy might be overstating it. Arranging tours with the homeowner individually is a hassle. The reason you hire a realtor is because they have access to the key boxes. A home is a huge purchase, I don't know how many houses a typical person looks at before deciding, but for me it was over a dozen.

Obviously, you can research this yourself, but 1) there's no substitute for experience; and 2) you're paying a professional because they already know this stuff and you presumably have other things to do.
