An agent that gets it...

[Joe Ruggiero]

So I thought I had it figured out with an agent, but so far I've had two that just don't seem to get it. I don't know if both of them just have had more familiarity with the slow and steady type of buyer waiting for their dream home, but it doesn't feel like either has had the sense of urgency I need them to have in looking for multi-families. I feel like in this market I need to move fast and offer frequent - especially where I'm looking north of Boston. The other thing is I'm a first time buyer trying to house hack so I know I'm at a disadvantage over the more experienced investors with cash.

So I have two questions. Has anyone else had trouble finding an agent that understands the urgency of the multi-family market?

The problem with using the Sellers agent is they are working in the best interest of the Seller trying to get the highest price possible at the best terms possible. If the Sellers Agent ends up working with both the Buyer and Seller then they are now performing as a Dual Agent and will need to disclose to both parties and would need to be impartial throughout the negotiation.
