Recommendation finding a realtor

Timothy Au
Posted

I have been working with a realtor and she is excellent. She finds me great properties and does great due diligence when we find a potential property.  However the due diligence part takes a while and by the time she is done with it and brings me her evaluation the properties are pending and we haven't even offered on them.  This has now happened on 3 properties in the last 3 weeks. 

The email I get will often be "here are the comps, I called around and confirmed rental rates, etc...But it looks like the property has accepted an offer already"

Any recommendations? Should I find a new realtor?

She works hard and I do appreciate how thorough she is and doesn't try to get me to offer on the first property I'm interested in.

Thanks in advance for you recommendations

Hey Timothy!

As an agent myself, I would hope that my client would be transparent and honest with me about what their expectations are and what they want and need from me as their agent. 

Before moving on to someone else, I would have a conversation with them about it. If they don't take the feedback well then at least you were open and honest and they will know why you decided to move on. It seems overall you are happy with your agent, but maybe just a few things need to be improved? I think a simple conversation would be the best first step. 

Good Luck!
