@Robert Medina they best way to find the right agent is to interview them and ask specific questions.1. 

and yes I now have a prescreening message for any tenant leads so they have a clear understanding of what i require and then ask them to do a prescreening phone call for an interview if they are really interested then they can fill ip the application form etc.  

The NYT interviewed me extensively about one of my single parent tenants ('Maria') I had for 17 years and the aftermath of my selling her building to a corporate buyer.   

You don't get into my home without a phone interview, and I let each and every guest into my home.

What turned me off was the extremely high pressure tactics of the person who calls you for the interview.

or they can spend time interviewing facilitators like agents and travel to the market. out of state investors come in all kinds. some fly to the market and look for themselves some never do. the ones that never do have the problems. take one trip is what I recommend 

I would interview and network to find a low cost brokerage that has experience in management or STRs. 

I do this every day, do lots of due diligence, visit the markets we do projects in, and have to do it as an intermediary and I also work with and interview builders every day

Then you can interview them to see if they fit you investing strategies.

Conduct 3 interviews with local agents who provide a free market analysis of your home.
