Finding the right people starting out

[Alexander M Dant]

As my partners and I are looking for our first property we've been struggling to find a reliable team. From the dozen lenders that have simply ghosted us, to the lawyer that is more then happy to bill us for work that he forgot to do(and is impossible to get ahold of) it seems like everyone we talk to is either terrible at their job or doesn't want to do business with us. 

This friction in the process has been especially frustrating as we do have everything we need together for the lenders, and have done everything we can to make their life easier such as responding timely to emails and getting them things before they ask. 

Has anyone else had these same struggles as they were first getting going? Whether that be having trouble finding a great lender or just being taken seriously?

And...

What should we do moving forward to find the "rockstar" lenders out there that will get back to us and are great at there job?
