Finding a Realtor?

Is anyone else having trouble finding a realtor who will respond positively to all of the questions Dean suggests? I have had great conversations with two who initially responded just the way Dean suggested a great Realtor for an investor might, but balked at my questions about vacancy and recent cash buyers (I shared how, they just wouldn't). I have never gotten any indication of "as is" listings, either. I started with Remax, but now I'm just combing through the others. (No Keller Williams here.)
