He was professional, ethical, and actually took his fiduciary duty seriously. He didn't claim to find listings that I wouldn't have myself, but guided my search a bit based on my criteria, gave candid feedback on them and what to look for, and bargained on the price with the seller harder than I would have, saving me more than his commission. When I discovered a potential issue with the property and had second thoughts pre-close, he didn't try to discourage me one bit from letting a done deal fall through, and was ready to support my decision. And he set up the many appointments with the seller's agents, handled the literal ream of closing paperwork, dotted the i's and crossed the t's, and made this whole convoluted process go smoothly. From my end, he more than deserved his commission he got out of the deal, and he will certainly have my future business buying or selling.
