Who is the best buyer’s agent south of Tampa?

[Phil Laundy]

We currently live and invest west of Kansas City. We are beginning our search for a second home (and eventually short and long term rentals) in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. We’re also open to St. Pete & AMI if prices drop. I’ve read David Greene’s book on long distance real estate investing and recently spent a decent amount of time driving neighborhoods in these areas. 
I’d love to get a few great referrals to help me narrow down my funnel of awesome agents before I get started.
