Trying to find a reputable Real Estate Agent - where do i look?

[Colin M.]

Hi there!

Im a NYC based first time buyer/investor looking to purchase an investment property in Charlotte NC, attracted by its low prices, good rents, growing status.... Im looking for a reputable RE Agent in the area but dont know where to look. Google sends me to "HomeLight" or "Topagentsranked" to find an agent. Anyone familiar with these websites, do they put you in touch with the right people or just randomers?

Or where would you guys recommend i begin my search? Simply just reach out to the big guys, Coldwell Banker, Remax etc?

Appreciate any help you can offer....

I would use zillow agent finder and type the zip code in you are looking to find. It will show an agent with past sales and reviews on similar properties you are looking for. You can verify all the credentials yourself that way.
