Real Estate agent issues !!!

[Darren Rogers]

So feeling a little frustrated today, I’m a newbie I’ve found my market area, have funds available and landed an agent that works with investors or so I thought. Long story short I’ve been working with agent for 3 days now and he tells me today he’s too busy to take care of me and would set me up with another agent.So the manager calls me and tells that they wont do any lower than asking price offers, send proof of funds or pre approval and they would get back to me and hangs up. WTH !! Any good tips for vetting an agent working in Ocala Florida. Thanks thats my rant for the day !🍻

 Reading between the lines here, they don't think you're a serious buyer. In their opinion working with you will not result in an appropriate dollar per hour wage for them. The way I see it you've got a few options.

1. Be ready to pay more for properties than you're currently expecting.

2. Pay the agent for their time up front.

3. Look for new agents. Likely less experienced, talented and qualified agents. If it doesn't work with these other agents either refer back to #1 and #2.

4. Get your own real estate license.
