Jessica are you a licensed RE agent ? 

Some brokers or agents will give a super high unrealistic number to get listings.

I used the the agent that I sued for buying the house and I had him to post the house in MLS since early August.

I want a knowledgeable real estate agent that knows the area really well.

I would like to connect with an agent that has experience with investment properties and first time homebuyers.

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good real estate agent in the SF.

My business partner and I own a number of properties throughout the Hudson Valley, some of which we renovate and flip, some of which we're holding long term as rentals.I am looking to develop a relationship with a professional insurance agent that has access and familiarity with a number of surplus lines policies that can cover rental properties, as well as vacant properties and some occasional builder's risk.If you have interest and experience with this, and can handle 20-40 different new purchases a year, please reach out to me.Thanks!
