Out of State Investing Realtors

[Georges A.]

I am in the process of investing in out of state properties. doing my research on the forum 3 things are key. (1) a good PM and (2) a good trustworthy realtor and (3) a good RE attorney.

(1) and (3) are doable by reading reviews and doing some standard interviewing with them - however I have an issue with (2). Any one who's been doing out of state REI can recommend some questions to ask for the Realtor to see if they're a good fit?

Checking the reviews, most of the realtors bought houses for ppl locally which is a very different process from the one I am doing. I need them to go there, record videos, and pretty much act as myself on the ground - A LOT OF TRUST involved although I will personally go there and check out the property myself the day when i'll bring an inspector. How do I know the realtor is doing his job and taking my interest first and not having me buy a property that we could have gotten for cheaper just to make some extra bucks?
