What do you look for in an Agent you work with?

[Sam McCormack]

My question is as simple as the title. What do you look for in an agent you work with on getting your investment properties?

What characteristics do you look for? Are there any immediate red flags that you avoid? What are good characteristics that makes them look attractive?

And while we are at it, what are your Realtor nightmares you have been through? Or a bullet you dodged?

A realtor can make or break deals, tell me about yours!

[Charles Perkins]

Personally I look for an agent that understands the different requirements of investing as opposed to home purchasing.  A good investment agent should know to ask the right questions as they strive to the understand an investors investment criteria.

An agent needs to have a clue as to what might be a good investment in order to actually assist in the investing process.
