If you buy a house and that sound like it is in your plans. Could be a wise move as long as you have money in other places besides the house.

Make sure you have an agent representing your interest. That would be a real-estate agent. There must be two!!! A buyers agent and a sellers agent. You can use an attorney, but typically smarter to have an agent that knows how to negotiate on your behalf. The seller is welcome to do what ever they want -- sell it on there own or have an attorney. Attorneys know the law, but may not be the best negotiator when it come to property. Exceptions to every rule of course.

Having the same agent handle the transaction is typically bad for the buyer IMO and you can end up leaving tons of money on the table.
