VA versed agents

[Victor Carvajal]

Is it me or is finding an agent that can go to bat for veterans using VA loans almost impossible? I've been through 2 agents now and both I had to teach the basics of how the VA loan works and why I would make it my preference. My most recent agent loved to remind me on every offer we made that my offer was the least appealing one because it was a VA loan. I get it VA appraisals and inspections are a pain but from what I understand they aren't that much different than an FHA's. Also people DO USE THEM. That is a thing right? Am I missing something? Is it asking too much of my agent to have the knowledge to make a strong case to the sellers agent so that he can relay it to the seller? I would love to just have an agent/investor who is also a veteran with experience with VA loans but apparently those aren't too easy to come by in central/northern NJ. I don't mean to sound like I'm whining. Just starting to get discouraging when someone thanks you for your service with one hand and shows you the door with the other.
