As for the realtor, keep in mind that if they are really pushing a specific place, they are probably getting a bigger commission from that particular developer. They only get half commission if they sell a house that is under contract with another agency.
When I was looking at houses, I looked at a house with a specific realtor's name on it. That realtor showed it to me and told me all the great things about it. There was another house down the street I wanted to look at while I was in the neighborhood that had another realty company's name on it. It was a multiple listing house so the realtor showed me that one too. She proceeded to point out every little defect the house had.
So the best advice I can give you is use the realtor to unlock the door and ignore everything they say afterward.

I could be wrong and you could have a great agent right off the bat. But I had to go through about three different agents before I found a good one that showed me houses that I wanted to see and not ones they thought I could qualify for. The one I actually bought my house from listened to what I was looking for and pointed out the good and bad of all the houses I looked at regardless of what agency was listing it. She didn't even push the houses her agency was listing.

DAMN!! Wish I could fast forward a month to give you guys a hand with the beer....
FYI: I've got a complete set of Rubicon coils (4-dr) and shocks, 29K on all. I'll make sure the movers pack them up for the move to Huntsville, if anyone wants them come June-ish, they are yours for the taking...b/c they are just taking up room in my garage right now.

Wilky.. was talking to Travis earlier after looking at his beast JK
He mentioned that you had the same springs he used and mentioned this post. If you still have them I'm interested. I'm so far behind on modding as Travis bug bit me after seeing the transformation. haha. Drop me a note if you still have the springs when you get closer to town. Thanks.

JK-Rubi,
How are your brakes? Do we need to bleed them one or two more times?
I think I'm going to get the same Crown extended brake lines (different color of course), but for a 4.5"-6" lift since I have more suspension droop by using the 4-6" Bilstein 5100 shocks and longer Full Traction HD springs even though my lift is only 3 inches.
And no, my springs do not shoot out at full articulation with the front sway bar disconnected.
