Agent has never heard of a hard money loan

[Josh Randall]

I talked to an agent yesterday about a property I'm interested in. He seemed really nice and in talking I found out he has four rental properties himself, but when I mentioned I am considering using a hard money loan he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. He said he had never heard of a hard money loan. He told me he is full time and has been an agent for three years. Should I run away from an agent like this? Or is this typical?
