What to do-- agent's poor hygiene is turning me off?

I didn't meet my real estate agent in person initially, we only talked on the phone. I liked his responses and approach, so I chose to work with him to buy a home. It's been a few weeks of touring homes together, and his poor hygiene is really getting to me and grossing me out. It's to a point where I don't even want to view homes with him. At first I thought it was a blip, but it's pretty much constant. The worst part is his terrible breath, and he loves to talk about all the details of the house. Meanwhile, I'm trying not to puke. He has a lot of experience and I like his thoughtfulness and work ethic. But I just don't know if I can handle the smells and habits. What do I do???

Is it rude to go to an open house to browse?

We've always enjoyed looking at houses. We browse model homes and open houses to get ideas for our own house and to know what's selling around us. There's a lot of lovely homes near us and we enjoy seeing them. We're not obnoxious about anything and don't lie about our intentions. But sometimes we feel bad or feel like the agent is upset that we're in the home. While I understand their disappointment that we're not going buy the house, we also don't take away any time or energy from them. The house is open and the agent has to be there anyway, so why do some agents seem upset by us viewing the home? Is browsing at an open house an unspoken no-no?
