Vetting an agent long distance

[Matthew Kauk]

I'm just getting started in the world of real estate investing. The properties around my area are out of my price range.

So i'm looking for something that is long distance.

I want to make sure that my real estate agent is legit and is not scamming me.

I took her license number and looked it up on the state website and it came up as active. Is there any way this could be faked?

The reason I'm worried is that I haven't heard of the real estate entity that she works for and it's hard to find any details of her work online.

I'm looking for ways to vet that she's the real deal as well as how you vet your real estate agents.

Appreciate the help.
