Use my real estate agent as my property manager?

I am closing on my first duplex tomorrow, located in Bedford, Ohio. I am having trouble finding a well-recommended property management company that services this area. My real estate agent has offered to manage the property for me. She actually lives near the property. She manages properties for two of my friends as well, but this is not her go-to business and she is not set up online for this service. My friends do not have any complaints with her but she sends the rents through a payment app and it seems a bit unofficial. I am not sure if this matters. Is it a good idea to use my agent as my property manager?

Any leads for property management that serve Bedford are still welcomed. Thank you!
