I find that it is a great indicator of dicey neighborhoods where there might be some bad things going on but I will tell you that I only completely reject a property if it is a heavy red or in a large geographic crime area because I have found that an area can have some orange but it could be that there was an incident or two or suspect traffic that was stopped in the area but the crimes weren't committed there, etc.

I wont commit hours to looking for off market deals without a agreement. just my 2 cents

@Levi T. 

If something sounds to good to be true it generally is and some companies will keep ramping up fees in smaller increments to get the buyer more committed to them in lost money if the deal is not funded.There are lender deposits that go to appraisal,phase one, survey,site inspection,etc.

Sign here gives the "if I don;t they could walk away" feeling.

Have prior commitments this Thursday but would love to meet each and every one at a later date.Please keep me posted on the next event.Regards,Jimmy Tu

@John T. - that kind of information is priceless.

Yes the test drive is a way to not be committed to a property.

Having your own agent is a long term commitment and therefore you need to make sure the agent is good for you.
