The yard is an overgrown disaster, but my realtor is convinced it has potential. I just see endless weeding. Do I trust her vision, or am I setting myself up for landscaping hell?

IMO, you should never buy or reject a house based on landscaping. If it's a disaster, you can easily rip it all out and start from scratch. If it's gorgeous, you need to be prepared for the work to maintain it if you want to keep it up.

There are so many things to look for in a house. Landscaping is ephemeral.
