Real Estate Agent Expectations

[Manoj Sadasivan]

I am fairly new to REI with one rental property under my belt am working through an agent to find buy and hold properties in Metro Atlanta area, however here is the problem. Even after communicating my expectations very clearly. the agent I am working with is showing very low level of engagement other than sending automatic system generated emails with the new listings for that day. I am an out of state investor and I was expecting the agent to help me short list areas, bring up deals before it goes into MLS or atleast give inputs about the ones that are listed in MLS. Am I expecting too much here, or is it possible that investors are viewed as a hassle here?.I am at the point where I am strongly considering to find someone else. Thoughts please
