Unpopular opinion, I feel like agents suck these days

[Account Closed]

I am a seasoned investor but still would like to look to agents to compile market data, provide insight into MLS info that I do not have, provide industry trends, and give recommendations. This is a baseline. I would also like for agents to provide recommendations for homes that I have not seen rather than me doing all of the search work. I do not feel like that is the case, especially in a hot market like Austin where agents are looking for the next big deal and don't want to spend time at a computer doing to diligence. At this point, I feel as the agents are not doing their job, and I might as well just represent myself. Thoughts?
