Your cousin, Zeke, from Flint may not be the best REALTOR

Your cousin, Zeke, may be able to turn a squirrel into the tastiest pasty on the planet, and I'm sure you love him to death, but this is a big deal and he may not be the right choice.  Sometimes we get REALTORs from downstate working on behalf of family members or friends in the sale or purchase of property in northern Michigan.     I can't imagine trying to do an effective job representing a family member in an area I know nothing about. The schools, body of water, neighborhood, and many other factors play a huge role in a property's value and I wouldn't know the first thing about any of those things in an unfamiliar area.  If Zeke really wanted to help you, he'd help identify a strong local REALTOR and take a referral fee from them.  He can still help with advice and consult during the transaction with the other REALTOR if he really wants to look out for your best interest.
