Even the best agent does not have time to check out each inquiry for the best fare; they use their experience to guess at the best deal which is constantly changing. Two things work; 1) Call the airlines and see who is cheapest yourself. Of coarse, you have to call all except Delta twice because they don't agree with themselves. 2) Go to several travel agents and shop for the best deal. This usually takes longer than doing it yourself.
