@Jesse Stein @Allen McGlashing you guys should be setting your standards much higher...even top producing investment real estate agents should be responding quickly (within 1-2 hours)...and you should have a system setup for offers...they should go out within an hour or two of your request.Stop working with agents that work at big brokerages like Keller Williams or HER...I know there is a bunch of these good ol' boy brokerages out there, but they are tools of the residential industry...not investment specialist for local markets...find a small local firm and start interviewing agents
