Real estate agent question

[Shane Ward]

I have been using a very investor friendly agent and plan continuing to use him. My question is, I found a few foreclosed properties that are listed with another agent that is also investor friendly. (I actually bought my primary home thru him), would it be ok for me to use both agents without pissing them off? The guy I use mostly has a very competitive list of investors and I’m one of his originals.

Are you breaking any rules, no. Will the first agent likely ditch you, yes. If the other homes are listed with another agent, why wouldn't you use your buyer's agent to see them? You are setting yourself up to ruin a good relationship to try to curry favor with a new one, but REO listing agents are not going to be showing you properties. They get REO accounts, a lot of them, and they manage those. Your agent now, if they are showing you properties, is the one to stick with. You don't need to use another agent when you have a buyer's agent.
