Andre, you have to verify everything you are told by an agent. When I bought my house a long time ago, I was told 17 acres of trees behind it were a part of the park system, and would never be developed. I didn't check. The acreage is privately owned. When we refinanced with a broker's agent, we lost tons of equity because they misled us, and we didn't ask, but we learned the next time. CHECK, CHECK, CHECK. - THEIR JOB IS TO SELL YOU A HOUSE.

National City may not be doing the DU refinance program to 125% many lenders aren't

No one will be doinga  DU Refi (plus) to 125%. DU Refi Plus caps out at 105%.....

Refi Plus will be going to 125%. It can't go DU, it has to be manually underwritten.

National City may not be doing the DU refinance program to 125% many lenders aren't. BUT SEVERAL ARE) Don't worry you aren't married to National City Mortgage. You can refinance your Fannie May owned loan with any lender. And starting October 1st you can refiance your Freddie Mac owned loan with anyone. 

The best news, Baltimore and PG county are getting stimulous money to help buy up the massive foreclosures. I anticipate your propery value starting to return to normal this year) There are already some bidding wars on foreclosed property and short sales.

If they aren't doing 125% loan yet, do they have a prediction on when they will be doing so?

Look up your local Board of Realtors and verify that persons membership. If they are a member of the Board of Realtors they ascribe to a code of ethics. If they don't carry out the code you can bring a greivance against them. You could also talk with another Realtor for a second opinion. You could also talk with that agents Broker. I am a Broker and I want my agent to take good care of the customer.
Last get recomendations from friends and family members of who you may choose to work with.
