Corporate job relocation and real estate
Hello,
My corporate company is relocating me to another state. I am planning to buy a duplex to house hack at the destination. My company is good enough to offer me a relocation package which includes a real estate agent from Coldwell Banker. What are the pros and cons of going with a company preferred agent vs going out on my own to find an agent myself?
Thanks!

It also means the 'preferred Agent' is receiving less of her standard commission as the Broker is keeping part of it for being in the Relocation referral program, and your company is likely benefitting as well. Since Buyers generally don't pay pay their agents commission, it shouldn't matter to you, however, an agent receiving full commission may be better motivated to work harder for you. You can search and vet an agent as well as your company can @Jia Liu. The CB agent may also be a good fit and is likely well experienced so wouldn't hurt to give them a chance.
