IMPORTANT - Need a GOOD real estate agent

Ok, I know it doesn't sound terribly important but it is. We have HIDEOUS landlords and they've just informed us we have to get out at the end of the lease (end of June) and although that's good in the sense that we will no longer have to deal with them, it is SO not good because this is the 3rd time in as many years that we have to move and I'm close to tears. We JUST finished making this place feel like home. We literally JUST got our garden to look nice. I painted my daughter's room JUST the way I wanted (and it's gorgeous and it took SO much work).
Sorry.. this has nothing to do with my original question. I'm just venting.
So, does anyone know a really good real estate agent who is honest and who will take the time to help us find what we're looking for? In case it makes a difference (I think agents deal with particular areas) we're interested in the Springs or in the bungalows next to Choueifat school (one compound is called Flamingo I think. I don't remember what the other is called).
A HUGE thank you to anyone who can help.

Thank you Kate, but I think I'd just as soon be done with these people. I just can't believe we have to go through moving and trying to settle in AGAIN. And the cost of doing this all over again just makes me angry. And losing my little girl's room that I was so proud of and that she didn't even get a chance to move into!!! But again, thanks for the advice.

Really sorry to hear that. Unless the landlord is planning to move his immediate family in he must give you a full years notice. I'm not too sure what happens if you have signed a non renewable contract. Take your contract down to the Land Dept opposite the Sheraton on the Creek. They will give you the best advice and are very much pro tenant. Hope it goes well for you.
