We got a realtor in the city we decided on, she showed us lots of homes, and did all the legwork to get us our financing locally. She took care of everything, and all we had to do was drive there for the closing. In these days of faxing documents, it has become everyday practice to relocate people easily. Would have been easy if we hadn't had a flat on the way, costing time, and hub got his suit dirty. Memories!
If you go to an area because of the area itself and not a property, you can choose any good realtor. When going for a particular property, *I* would not use the realtor who has the listing. It's bound to be a conflict of interest for that person. They can only represent the buyer or seller 100%, so you can assume they'll represent the seller better. Get someone not associated with that property, IMHO.
You can always ask about a lease/option. In this buyer's market, anything is possible - esp. if the property has sat vacant for a while.
