Searching for reliable Real Estate Agent in Chicago

[Noah Orr]

Hi All!

I'm trying to step into buy-and-hold investing and am currently evaluating the greater Chicago area. If you have an agent you'd recommend working with and relay your experience with them. I live in Seattle so it must be someone who is willing to work with the time difference and other challenges associated with investing from a distance.

Thank you!

Hi Noah

Problem is most agents don't like working with investors.  The reason is most have really no motivation and no focus.  For example, I get this all the time from investors.  "I'm looking for a deal, don't care about neighborhood, could be a condo or 100 unit and price range is from $50,000- $1,000,000" 

If you can come back with..

Looking for a brick 4 unit, in Hyde Park under $500,000 than you are on something.
