Whidbey Island is a unique geographic and geologic island formation. Investing in this market place requires a solid understanding of soils, water systems, surface water control, utility installation costs, land use limitations, zoning, county codes, easements, uniform building code, development costs, climate, local politics, etc. There is limited opportunity to receive the benefits of municipal services.
In most instances you will be your own provider or co-provider of the infrastructure for development. Septic and private water systems are a way of life. Attention to development limitations and the long-term viability of existing development is critical. Most real estate agents act as tour guides and can easily meet outsider's minimum requirements for information.
This is not a place for minimum requirements based on mainland experience or cursory review based on appearances. We must address long-term carrying capacities and use potentials for vacant land or the land under existing developments.

From the moment you begin asking questions of a listing agent, that agent begins developing a profile of you.
Right or wrong this profile can disadvantage any future negotiation concerning a property listed by that agent or his Brokerage.
Seller's agents cannot disclose any information deleterious to their client's interests; therefore there is an inherent bias on the delivery of all information.

Consumer Reports states, "You can find a true buyer's agent only at a firm that does not accept listings."
The advantages of using an Exclusive Buyer Agent is that they avoid conflicts of interest by working in the best interests of the buyer and not the seller, avoid homes and neighborhoods likely to fare poorly in the marketplace, ensure the buyer does not unknowingly overpay for a property, fully informs the buyer of adverse conditions, encourages the buyer to make offers based on true value instead of list price, which can sometimes be overstated, and works to save the buyer money.
