Seeking a New Realtor

[Christopher Stacy]

As I stated in the description, the agent I have been working with is not producing, like at all lately, aside from sending me daily MLS listings. I have been working with her since 2010 and she initially started as my property manager. She is not exactly an "investor focused" agent, but does work with investors. I have purchased 2 houses with her over the past 5 years, but they have been at or close to retail. So, I am thinking of seeking a new buyer's agent for my next deal and a friend recommended one that he works within the same city. I want to keep my agent as my property manager for the time being, but her fees are on the higher end so I am contemplating changing the PM company too. Adding to this conundrum, my agent is getting up there in age and I am starting to see simple mistakes that can easily be avoided by someone on top of their game. I am also asking because I recently learned about vetting agents on Zillow and my agent doesn't score too high. I feel that I am paying too much and missing out on deals, so I need to do something. Would it be unethical to start working with another agent/PM to move down a better path for my next investment?
