Using a real estate agent is an excellent idea in any market, but basically a necessity in a complicated market like the one we are in now. The New York Times, which is not always favorable in its view of real estate agents, just published an interesting article on not only the benefits of having a good agent, but on the different types of agents. The article cited, among others, the hand-holder, an agent who will patiently walk you through every step of the deal and then some; the authority, an agent with a lot of expertise in the market and one who is likely to counter unrealistic expectations; and the legacy broker, who is one agent that helps generations of the same family.
I'll be the first to admit that a good match between a buyer's or seller's personality and an agent's personality is very helpful to getting a deal done and leaving everyone happy. So if you're looking for an agent, check out this article; perhaps some further insight will result.
