Vex,
1. Be careful about estimating investment potential, but yes of course.
2. No, you don't need an agent.

number 2 is correct but i would recommend getting one. the buyer's real estate agent gets paid out of the seller's pocket from the sale of the home.
[someone may argue that the buyer actually pays for this because it is worked into the price yadayaadyadya. well, usually people cant knock 3% off doing this and the OP is not sophisticated about the real estate market as it is.]
get a good referral and find a good agent if you go this route.
