Quick question for out of state investors who work with realtors

[Matt Littlepage]

Hi Everyone,

I currently own properties here in California and I have recently been looking for investment multi-family properties in North East Ohio. I am new to out of state investing but not new to real estate. I have already been pre-approved and have over $100K in the bank to use as my down payment money. I am finding and analyzing properties on my own. I have already worked with two realtors there in NE Ohio and to be honest, I am very disappointed. 

I basically call them up and ask if they can put in an offer for me. I have missed a few properties because of slow offers (24-36 hours after asking them to make them). I completely understand everyone is busy and are not waiting by the phone for me to call. I get it... At the same time, I feel that I am an easy client. I have done all the hard work on my own. I ask simple questions and get the answers a day or so later. 

Am I expecting too much? Is this just how it goes in that part of the country or have I found two realtors that are either too busy or don't care about my investing. I hope this doesn't come out as a poor me story but I am just trying to get a grasp on realtor mentalities there. 

How would you go about finding a realtor interested in helping an out of state investor? I interviewed both and both had the right answers on the phone but when it came time to act they fell short.

Thanks for your time,

Matt
