How To Tell if you Have a good RE agent

[Allen Blau]

Hey BP

I picked a RE agent somewhat randomly which is now causing me to question that choice. Essentially he was referred to me by a coworker who only knew him socially.

Now it's been a few months and I finally narrowed down my area and price range. I have placed an offer on a property at full ask expecting to get at least a fast counter. It's been 3 days and still no response.

My agent seems to be making contact frequently to keep on top of the issue but they are ignoring him supposedly.

It seems like if my agent wanted to really push he could try more creative approaches like calling the sellers agent office and getting him on the phone indirectly that way. However I am unaware of the tricks of the trade.

All that being said, it makes me question if he is the right choice, and what more seasoned investors think/look for.
