@Danny Polanski and @Jack Lee, man you guys had some bad experiences! I agree with @Matthew Irish-Jones, @Marcus Auerbach, and of course the OP @Tina Lee, your chances of finding a good Investor Agent right off the bat are very low. You absolutely want to make sure they own properties themselves, and truly know the investment market. Ask what % of their sales are Investors vs Retail clients. Mine is 100% Investors, and there are Realtors out there like this. Of course every house isn't going to make sense as an investment. But, it's also YOUR job to work WITH the Realtor. I agree with Tina, I have people hit me up all the time, saying they're going to buy 20 houses this year!!!!! But then they expect me to literally spoon-feed them properties. That's now how it works. YOU as the investor are in charge, it's my job as a Realtor to find out what will fit into your investment criteria and show you what's available. Sorry V.G., but not telling your agent what your price range is is preposterous. How can they help you if they don't know what you're willing to spend? "I want B class properties!" "OK, what's your price range?" "That's for you to figure out..."??? You would definitely go in my circular file.
Unless you're local and are willing to do the driving for dollars, cold calling, door knocking, etc, a good Realtor is absolutely needed. So instead of complaining about it, keep reaching out to agents on BP (try the Featured Agents in your market), or hit up your local REIAs to find out who are agents in those organizations. They will help you reach your goals just as the rest of your team will.
