I just don't see why you need a realtor to hold your hand.
There are homes available that do not have open houses, some sellers just don't want neighbors and those just there because they had nothing else to do that day to walk through their homes and you need an agent to get you in to see those particular homes, that is not holding hands, that is common practice when looking for a home.
