Real Estate Agent(s)
So while I have bought 4 homes in my lifetime, I am new to real estate investing and have a general question about realtors.
I enlisted the help of a friend when looking at my first property - I found it and had them show it to me. The deal fell through - owner decided to flip.
A month or so later I went to my hometown (about 90 miles away) and had a school friend show me some properties. I bought one that he found for my 1st buy and hold.
I kind of get the impression that local friend is irritated as if I just wasted her time. It wasn't my fault that the deal fell thru. If she came thru with another deal I wouldn't hesitate to use her.
I know several realtors and met many more - is it PC to enlist the help of multiple agents?
It seems to me that the more help you have, the better. Certain realtors will specialise in specific parts of town. Maybe one day I narrow the list down based on lead quality. I don't want to waste their time or mine.
