Is it me? Difficulty finding a Real Estate Agent in Hartford, CT

[Jezelle John]

Is it me? I am interested in multifamily properties in Hartford and I live in NY. I keep expressing my criteria and either they leave or do not respond back to me. All the agents I found so far from Zillow and realtor.com . I let them know that I am pre-approved, I have the down payment, and the property I’m interested in. Usually my statement will include

- triplex and up

-max budget 350k to 400k

- for 6-units my max is 500k as long as commercial lending approves

- interested in newer properties that are already occupied

-not to far from major hospitals

I explain that I am aiming to build a real estate portfolio and establishing long term relationships with the intention of buying every year or when a deal presents itself.

I welcome tips and ideas so I can improve my approach. I have a conventional lender, I have a commerical lender contact, and I am having trouble finding the right agents . I am finally using BP to try to contact agents but I don’t want to scare them off.
