In select larger markets, some agents have the luxury of choosing residential vs commercial, buyer vs seller sides of transactions.

So now he has to deal with something he didn't choose or make any $$ on, c) It's giving the customer too much control/input into the process.

If you can get in early on in a new townhome development, the builder will force your appreciation and you should walk into equity by the time you move here.That's just one point of view and you'll have other options if you choose.

I would examine those markets to see if the deals would work with what you want to spend because then you have boots on the ground and/or a competitive advantage in that area instead of choosing a town you don't know and building a whole time that are only verified online.

I think a smart move would be to find someone to partner up with in the market that you choose to go in.
