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 :)
