Looking for a full-time Realtor with experience in helping investors
Good morning, y'all!
Newish investor here looking to invest for the first time in the Pittsburgh area :)
After speaking with some realtors who messaged me on my first post, I figured out what kind of agent I'm looking for. I'm a realtor myself in SATX, and I REALLY want an agent that helps their clients and runs their business like me. Here's what I'm looking for:
1) Strong social media presence = I want to see you doing your job and helping clients :)
2) Online reviews = I want to read/see/watch/etc. what your clients have said it is like to work with you
3) Solid connections to good lenders and contractors = I would love the names of those people/businesses you recommend so I can research them myself :)
4) Answers to questions = So many people who responded to me from my first post gave me no answers to the questions I asked :(
If that's you, or you know of an agent who fits those four criteria, I would love to send you/them a message!
I'm planning on coming to Pittsburgh in September to meet with professionals, do some boots-on-the-ground research, and visit some potential properties. Our goal is to buy our first investment property in Pittsburgh in Q4 2023 - Q1 2024.
Whatever questions you have for me, I'm more than happy to answer!
If you want to research me, on all socials we're "NAK Realty Group" (we don't have a TikTok) and on LinkedIn it's just my name "Adam Kavulic"
Thanks for your time, y'all :)

@adam
@Adam Kavulic I am a local professional and Here is the challenge that all of us local agents run into. This may help you procure a good trustworthy and highly market educated agent.
1. There is a ton of out of state investors who will waste time because they just dont know what they want. In this market you need to be laser focused. good deals last a few days and great deals last a few hours. Know exactly what you are looking for.
2. There are a lot of good agents in the Pittsburgh market. my suggestion is if you want the best service from a person who has their finger on the pulse of the real estate Invesment market, you pay them a retainer fee and an hourly fee and a premium commission on the deals that they find you.
3. I can only work with a few dozen serious investors and If I responded to and worked with every out of state investor I could have hunderds. Thats not fair to my serious clients so I choose not to work with everyone.
I think thats your challenge and take my suggestions for what they are worth and get more opinions from other agents.
