Unresponsive Agent. Time to move on?

[Nick Nalette]

I’ve narrowed down out of state areas I would like to invest in. One of the agents I have spoken with is very knowledgeable, grew up in the area, and knows many people to help build a team. The problem is that he is very unresponsive. I won’t hear back for days on end, and text messages are hit or miss when I reach out. Do I stick with this guy because of his connection with the community, or do I just move on and find someone else? Thanks all!

@Nick Nalette as others have mentioned, find a new agent. With current market conditions and overall extreme competitiveness, this a matter of time is of the essence. I strive to get back to all of my clients within a 20-30 minute timeframe. Any solid on market deal will last no longer then two-three days before it's binding and under contract. Once you develop your core four (agent, pm, contractor, lender) stick only to that specific market until you are comfortable with consistently putting in offers. May sound counterintuitive, but I see too many investors try and broaden their net into different markets, only to never pull the tigger and getting stuck in the long run.
