WTB property without dealing with the listing agent

[Luke Sanderson]

So I have found a couple deals in my market of interest that are at an attractive price point, currently renting for less than the average rental, and have current occupancy. I am still building up my down payment, but would like to close in the next few months. THis would be my first true investment property, as my other two houses have been an owner occupied to rental property purchase.

The problem I am running into is getting more info about the houses and more specificially dealing with the listing agent in general. When I called him to discuss a property he was downright rude and acted like talking to me about the property was offensive. When I mentioned this strange interaction to a real estage agent I was working with, she took a long pause and just told me to give him a Google and look at his reviews. Highlights of that 1.1 star average review profile are phases like "Treats people like garbage," "Rotten human being," and my personal favorite "One of the most despicable human beings I have ever had the displeasure of coming in contact with."

He usually has 1-3 properties up and for sale on the MLS, but he doesn't take care of his properties (according to his reviews) and he is exceptionally difficult to deal with.

Should I move on, or is there a way to go about this without dealing with this individual?

Thanks!
