Buyer's Agent Relationship Question

[Christopher Reynolds]

Hi everyone. We are in the process of searching for an investment property. We are currently working with an exceptional buyer's agent. Her office services a certain area that is relatively close to us. We have been looking at properties with her, and have placed a few offers, nothing accepted yet.

We have recently thought about changing our plan, and looking at different types of properties. The type of property we would be looking at requires us to search in a different area of the state, a couple hours away from her normal area. We have found a few properties we'd love to look at, and one of them we feel we need to see right away.

How do we proceed? We'd love to continue working with her if possible. Could we view the properties with the listing agent, and then call our buyer's agent later and ask if she'd be willing to work with us on a transaction out of her area as a one-time occurrence? Do we need to see the property with a buyer's agent in that area?

Thanks for any help!
