Is it me or does most of these Realtors suck at their job

I've been hardcore looking for buy and hold properties and fix and flip properties all over the country. 

You're talking Colorado, Ohio, Texas, everywhere. 

And I talk to these realtors and they are like I'm the perfect person that you called and it turns out they are a joke. 

Like how hard is your job ( trust me I know because I'm a realtor out in California) 

All I'm trying to do is making profit for ALL. 

One day it will come together and I'll find property managers, wholesalers, realtors, construction people to do the job.

It's probably you. I get calls from people all the time talking like you and I encourage you to look at your conversations from the other side. 

When I get a call and hear that someone is looking in a ton of different markets and talking to a ton of different realtors, PM"s, etc., what it tells me is that they've already wasted dozens of people's time and they're about to waste mine as well. I'll rather quickly get off the phone. 

9/10 times they don't buy anything at all, let alone in your market. If they do, it's usually lowballing a couple of properties after trying to send you all around town for several weeks to look at anything they think is a good deal. I'm not going to waste weeks of my time for a slight chance of making a thousand bucks off a 60k BRRRR property.

The people who get the attention of the on the ground team are the ones who know exactly what they want and are ready at a moment's notice to get it. 

You're right in that being an agent is not difficult. I don't even think they should exist for the most part, but the good ones know where to spend their time as well.
