Does the buyer’s agent have to disclose if they know the listing agent?

Does the buyer’s agent have to disclose if they know the listing agent as their ex in-laws? The husband in the team that represented us was the listing agent’s ex brother in law. Conflict of interests? Enough to void the contract?

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???
