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.
