seem to have a natural mistrust of real estate agents - I've just had too many bad experiences with people that don't know what they are doing and who always seemed too busy for me. Finally, I found someone who was honest and prepared. She found properties for me that other agents couldn't because she took the time to understand all of my needs and interests. I ended up buying a home in a location I wasn't aware of and it is much better than where we thought we wanted to be.
