You have a few here on the forum
Seriously, someone who is familiar with the area and your personal concerns (in this case knowledge of special ed, etc.), possibly a designation or two, probably not a newbie but someone with experience, someone who is comfortable working with a first time homeowner, definitely someone you feel comfortable with and trust to do the right thing for you and, in my opinion, a Buyer's Agent.
A Buyer's Agent works for
you, not the seller, and can tell you everything there is to know about a property, good and bad. If the agent is informed about current financing issues, that would definitely be a plus in my opinion.
Don't hesitate to interview several until you're comfortable - you're about to make a BIG decision!
Good luck!
