Good agents near Belleuve

Hi all, I am looking to house hack as close to my job as possible, however neither my income nor my liquid assets are massive. I am a first time buyer, I've listened to a lot of BP podcasts and read a few books, but am still a little shaky when it comes to the nuts and bolts or RE--I know I should make offers, but I don't even know HOW to make an offer. I think getting an agent would be a good actionable step for me to take, so I can actually start looking at appropriate properties. How should I go about connecting with an appropriate agent? I don't want my inexperience to cause me to team up with someone who isn't a good fit. 

Thanks suggestion are very appreciated, thanks.

Aidan - you should get a loan pre approval completed  as a first step  even before connecting with a real estate agent  ..this will allow you to check credit history / buying power  and  become familiar with the  figures  .....if this process  provides  you with the loan amount  / purchase  price that  works for your scenario  - great  ...if there are weaknesses - the you become aware of the facets that need to be addressed ..
