Am I a Sucker to Work with Just One Realtor.....
Let's just put on the side for now other buying strategies. Right or wrong, at this point, the MLS is my strategy.
I have one deal under my belt. Bought, Renovated, and am now holding. This buy and subsequent renting was done with this Realtor. This Realtor sends me auto-update listings which is one of the reasons I'd like to use only this person.
Now I am getting ready to buy again and I just get the sense that there are a lot of games and pocket listings that go on in this business. There seem to be too many "no's" early in the process from the listing agent. I'd really like to be loyal to my Realtor based on the belief that she'll be able to "get me into anything that is out there" in the Realtor world. I am becoming skeptical of this and am wondering if I should also build direct relationships with the few core Realtors in the area who seem to be getting the listings.
