Where are the RE agents these days?

I just got pre-qualified, still can't believe it in this market, but now I can't find a good real estate agent to work in my best interest.

I can't afford a half million dollar mansion but a nice starter home. Is it that the real estate agents can't make a fortune so there is no incentive? Looking for an investor in the LA area looking to unload a property. Maybe we can help each other out.

Search is underway, alone.
