Not use buyers agent

[Piper Pepperidge]

Hi, so I started with a buyers agent but I’m very efficient and finding the deals myself and also finding at times they’ll say they’ll ask the seller something but then text a few days later, “Just asked the seller [insert]. Hopefully they’ll get back to me today.” I understand they have other clients and cant just drop everything to do what I'm asking but right now it feels like things are taking extra time by having a middle man. Pretty much every listing agent I’ve contacted on my own has picked up immediately or called back within the hour so I’m wondering if I should just go without the buyers agent or to be patient.

Depends on your level of experience. Just remember that listing agent is working in the best interest of the seller, and not you. Many of them may be doofuses, but many of them may be sharks and you'll have no idea. You may even walk away from the transaction thinking you got the better of them without knowing how badly you lost out on the transaction.

Also a number of them may just be unethical as well.

So like everything in real estate, caveat emptor; buyer beware.
