Working with a PT Agent

[Patrice Bocci]

Hi there!

Just looking for some advise. My husband and I are in the process of searching for our first owner-occupied investment property.

We've been working with an agent for about 4 months now and the process has been a stressful one. This month we've started putting in offers on properties, once we have finally gotten a sense of what we're looking for in a property and understanding the numbers.

Lately, I have been having second thoughts about our agent. He's been very professional, nice, informative and responsive. However, the only time we've gone out to look at homes has been on Saturdays. Our agent, has been an agent for a year, works full time during the week and is only available during the evening and weekends. I want to maximize our search to days when I have off during the week (occasional Thursdays and Fridays), and both Saturdays and Sundays.

My husband is a bit worried to have the conversation since he really like the guy, but from coming from a sales background, I think that we need to increase the number of properties in order to increase our number of offers sooner rather than later to get a better chance of finding a property before it becomes more competitive during warmer months.

Am I pushing it and give this guys a chance or get a new agent that has the time to make it happen for us?

Thoughts!?!?!
