OK to use novice real estate agent?

[Alex Silang]

I'm really thinking about using my manager as my real estate agent. He has a lot of experience (5+) year managing. Plus he's by far the best manager I've had, I want to reward him with a nice commission.

However...

He told me he's only buy/sold 5-6 transactions. He said he could get more help under his broker.

Do you think it would be foolish for me to use him? Once again, he has a lot of experience managing in the area so I'd expect he'd know what to look for. But maybe with things like negotiation he'd need some insight, which his broker can provide

Your thoughts are appreciated.

@Alex Silang How interested do you think your PM is going to be to manage this place while it is listed if he's been passed up for the listing opportunity? Just a real life aspect of this to think of. 

Also, does the property have tenants? If so, you will need cooperation from them to have showings. In that case he will probably have a better repour with the tenants than a different agent.
