Google "Buyer's Broker" and read through the results. Most will apply to real estate but, frankly, there isn't much difference. If you sign an agreement with an agent to serve as your "Buyer's Broker" he/she is working for you only.

For the most part I think most brokers--of any type--get a lot of undeserved derision. I know quite a few and most are pretty hard working, honest people that work hard to meet their clients requirements. Bad ones are identified and weeded out pretty quickly. If someone has been with an established brokerage company for some while, they are usually pretty reliable as it is definately not in the company's interest to keep someone who isn't. We have dealt with Annapolis Yacht Sales and Massey Yacht Sales and both have an established cadre of knowledgable, reliable, agents.

FWIW...
