Asher,
I continue to recommend a traditional agent. I find it strange that people don't tell listing agents they are represented when they call and also strange when agents don't ask. You mention that agents aren't required to have a higher education and in the traditional sense of schooling some do but many have education as my brother and I are both college graduates.
As far as your Ad homonym attacks on others I don't find that necessary. It does appear you don't value the services of professionals. Did you ever try interviewing full time buyer agents prior to your encounter with the listing agent? You mention you and your wife didn't need an agent because they were going to try and "sell" you all day in a car on a house. Being a buyer agent is about matching up a buyers needs with houses that meet the criteria that a buyer has requested in a detailed consultation.
A buyers agent or any real estate agent should meet with their client in a consultation prior to getting in a car to find out their criteria first.
