Want to retrench and move into the countryside, how do I find a realtor?

I have an ailing house in the city. I want an ailing house in the country. I do not have cash to buy and do not want to finance. I want to sell my house, take the cash, and buy a house outright, or at least finance no more than 10k in repair expenses. I am prepared to find temporary lodging in the meantime if that's necessary.

I've talked to six real estate agents and gotten all kinds of answers. Some are house flippers, some are rockstar award-winners, some are run of the mill agents. But none yet are prepared to help me reach my goal.

Aside from just calling everyone in the book, is there anything else I can do to find a real estate agent who is willing to show me some properties out of town and run some numbers with me?

"Rock Star" told me that no real estate agent will touch me if I don't have earnest money but I just want to tour homes. I never had to put up earnest money to get in a realtor's car when I bought this place. I get that he, an award-winning hot shot realtor, may not be interested in me; but someone out there must be, right?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
