How can I find a really Good website developer who knows my industry?

I have been looking for someone to create a website for an apartment community and the only ones I seem to find have crappy websites themselves. If their website doesn’t draw me in, why should I give them tons of bucks to try and help me develop a site that will draw my customers in?
So far I have looked at some recommended industry specific companies.
One is going to cost me $111 per month and can’t even tell me how many hits comparable pages are getting per month. (Is that to much to ask?)
I am feeling at a loss right now. I feel like I have waited way to long to get this up and going but I really expected to find someone who would blow my socks off in the design department.
Any of you “more techno savvy than me” types have any ideas?
