Dawg- I'm glad that you had a positive experience w/your agent!!
Listings are the life blood of any real estate company and their agents. It takes countless hours of mailouts, cold calls, working FOSBO, and the competion is incrediable. It's the behind the scene stuff that you and other's don't see that leads you to beleive that the listing agent doesn't do anything to earn their commission.
Most sellers/buyers are difficult to deal with and it if was that easy, then everybody would be doing it. Buyer agency is a good thing and it's finally taking hold in Ma. It gives the Buyer representation and reduces liability for the listing agent and seller.
It's eaiser for a Buyer's agent working w/someone like you who has to buy in a certain time frame(relo buyer) and is not a tire kicker and no matter what the listing agent says to you, you are going to listen to what your agent is saying because of your relationship.
Good Luck
