How to find the “right” agent?

Good morning everyone, I’m new to the world of real estate and I’m planning on buying my first home in a few months. Just had a few questions and I’m looking for a little advice if anyone can spare some.

What should I be looking for in a real estate agent? Should I even be considered about the “quality” of my agent? Also are there any tips/tricks in find a great deal. I’m not in a huge rush and I have time on my side. Are there negotiations that can be made to save me extra cash?

Also I’ve heard the market is expensive right now, is this true throughout all states? I’m moving up to Alask, and was wondering if anyone had insight about the market up there.

Thanks for your time guys/gals have a great day!

@Luke Trovinger thank you for the detailed reply. I’ll do just that, I appreciate the insight and I want to go into this with a leg up.
