I say: real estate investor People think: agent Advice!!

[Ashley Cast]

Hello Biggerpockets,

Just wanted to post something that keeps happening to me as of late.

Every time I say or someone says I working on becoming an real estate investor. They go "Oh. Can you find me a house?" Every time I tell them "No, you need an agent to help you." There response is always "Aren't you?" I tell them "No. I have an agent and I would gladly recommend her if you are looking for a house."

This has happened multiple times. Most cases when I tell them "I am not an agent" they walk away. Except this one person. I keep telling him "I am not an agent I cannot take him out to view properties or assist him in purchasing one". This guy will not take no for an answer and he keeps sending me lists of properties he wants me to look into for him. Each time he sends a list "I tell him I cannot take you out to view these properties, you need to get an agent. I can recommend you my agent". I never get a response back. This has happened multiply times. Today, the guy messaged me saying "Have you looked into any of the properties I have been sending you. I need a place to in 8 days."  I told him "No. I keep telling you, I cannot help you purchase or view houses you need an agent to do that. I am not an agent. I can recommend you one." His response was "Have you looked into any of the properties I have sent you?" I did not even respond back.

Anyone else have this experience before?

Any advice on how to handle this guy? Or just ignore him.

Thank you
