The characteristic that you should look for is an agent who answers the phone.

To answer your original question, “actually getting started...is better than endlessly researching and analysis paralysis", the answer is "NO", and that is the answer to both parts of your question.It isn't a matter of one or the other, since neither is the way to go.You don't, "just get started", without being prepared, and you obviously don't research something to death, and never get started.
