Help! Is using a brand new RE agent a bad idea?

[Jessica Farr]

We're finally pulling the trigger on buying our first home with the end goal being BRRRR. My best friend is a BRAND NEW RE agent, so it was almost assumed (on both ends) that we'd use her because of the trust factor.

She does have a "mentor" but they're brand new to the area (but in RE for 20+ years), and supposedly just monitors things on the back end, and I'm not sure how much they're involved. I'd almost prefer them to be more involved but I guess that's not how it works. 

My question is..... Can a lot go wrong if we go this route? or is the process pretty much the same from agent to agent and it's just a matter of who is going to act quickly on things?

Location is Corona, CA or inland empire.

TIA :)

I would use your friend. But be steadfast in your numbers. If you know your numbers and stick to them all the realtor is doing is facilitating the transaction. Taking care of the formalities. Buying a piece of property is not rocket science. Good luck. Support your friend in her new endeavor.
