Skip the Buyer's agent?

I just received an advice from a friend that says: "The market is too hot, ditch your buyer's agent. Just get a RE attorney to make sure your offer is safe and go to the open houses yourself informing the seller's agent that you're a private buyer not represented by an agent. All the info you need is out there (mls) and run the comps yourself. That will give you a competitive advantage as the seller's agent would probably favor you"

Not the most ethical advice I would say but thought I'll throw it out there and see what the pros think about it.

I have a really good realtor that provides me with a lot of security, info, and works tirelessly to educate me on the process, but I could not help about think about it for a second.
