With that in mind - What questions should we ask to help us choose one?

You can't think that because they dropped twice already they wont be willing to go down much further. This brings up an additional advantage to having a realtor. In a situation where the property keeps dropping in price I personally would prepare a market analysis on the home and determine what the real asking price should be. If you list 100k over market value and then drop 50k, you as a buyer might think your getting a great deal by having another 20k negotiated off the price.
As for questions to ask... having a instant connection with the real estate agent and having them listen to you while giving pointers would be 2 of the most important things for me if I was looking for one. Additionally, experience is critical.
I would also look for a realtor who sponsors a site that I like to frequent :P
