Yes you do. Sellers get to be picky. Especially in Covid. They aren't letting in looky-loos. At bare minimum you need to have an agent and pre-approval as a buyer so you come across as serious and interested, or you aren't getting into homes right now (speaking of Bay Area).

And if you aren't going in person, you shouldn't be submitting offers.
