Agents who aren't investors?
I'm asking for your input because I value it and want to know what you think! Would you work with an agent who is not an active investor in your market? I ask because I'm looking to grow my team here in Austin and am having trouble finding agents who are. I started investing before I started working as an agent and have always been very strict in who we bring on making this a requirement but I'd love your input. Would you, as an investor, work with an agent who was not assuming they had local knowledge?

You might even have a hard time finding agents who own their own home. You have to get started somewhere, but I'll bet 50-75% of agents don't own any home. It's on my list of questions buyers should be asking their agents before working with them.
