@Dalyn Hazell thanks. Communication for sure.

I was not far into the process. I have seen a number of properties with this agent so far. Prior to Christmas he told me about this property and that he thinks that he’s convinced the owner to sell. At that point he told me that if I couldn’t buy it that he’d have someone else lined up anyway. He went to the property and took some photos and sent them to me, indicating that after Xmas I could go and see it. This week, I asked him about it and he told me he was meeting them the next day and to give him the time to confirm if they would be selling. I waited, then asked how it went. He then called me to tell me that he and his partners bought it.

I certainly see a failure in communication. He should have given me the full picture.

When I asked about the status of a deal my agent was trying to line up for me, he (to his credit) told me he and his partners just put it under contract and that he would keep looking for a deal for me.

I’m new to rental investing, but not new to buying houses/dealing with agents... and this seems off to me. Understanding that there is always competition, I believe the Agent should have notified me that he and his partners were interested in this deal from the outset.

Thoughts?

@Jordan Perry thanks for the info, and for your time. I am definitely keen on investing locally in Saint John, but am open to elsewhere if I find the right deal. I’ve been working with a local realtor for a couple months without any success in finding the kind of building in liking for. Competition is high!! Haha

I’ve been in touch with Brendon. He’s doing great things!

@Christian Camilleri for NB you can do a Title search at SNB. You have to pay, but it’s not super expensive.

@Brendan McClure just to start I’d love to hear your story about collecting so many doors in only a year! Should be on a podcast! Haha

I’m starting out so looking to connect with experienced investors in the area. I’d love to discuss various strategies you’ve found successful.
