How to find an agent

[Cole Farrell]

Hi, I’m trying to find an agent that understands investing. I have been through so many that don’t know what they’re talking about, feeding false information or just don’t have any faith in me going through with it. How do you find someone that will understand your goals and actually help you. Where can you look to find theses people?

I would ask them how they go about searching for investment properties and if they own investment properties. Ask about cap rates they are seeing in the area you want to invest in. I really wouldn't use an agent that did not invest themselves. When I have tried looking for investment minded agents in other cities (I am only licensed in DFW), I have found some luck finding agents on Instagram. For example if I were looking in Dallas, I would search hashtags like dallasrealtor, dallasinvestor, dallasrentals, dallasrealestateinvestor, etc. Then I look at their profile to see if I can get a link to their website or more info to see if they are an investor and agent. Good luck!
