Find a Realtor or do it myself

[Tony DeMario]

I'm looking for my first REI in the Forsyth County GA (Cumming, Dawsonville) area. I'm not having any luck with Realtors acting fast enough in order for me to have a chance in a hot sellers market. I'm fully approved through underwriting at $140k so my price point just adds to the speed at which I need to move. Should I...1. continue to look for Realtors until I find the right one, 2. should I look for wholesalers directly or 3. look for new listings myself and personally contact the listing agent?

Thanks for any advice!
