Current realtor doesn't seem to be a great fit

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of finding a good house hack and am using a realtor referred to me by a coworker. At the time I was looking for SFH, but I have since changed my approach to look for duplex, triplex, or 4 plex. Basically, I want to do a house hack.

After meeting with my realtor a few times, she seems to not understand house hacking or my goals and seems to be more focused on selling Scottsdale high priced homes. I really want to work with a fellow investor that can help walk me through the process and give better advice.

I'm in a bit of a bind because the realtor has a lot of good connections and I'm worried about severing the connection if I want to do flips in the future.  Any advice on this issue?

My best idea at the moment is to let her know I want to work with a realtor more familiar with Multi family investments and that I will continue to use her for my personal residence loans.

Thoughts??

If you haven't signed any buyer broker agreement then you are not locked to him and can have other agents help. I would however let the agent know that you are looking with other agents as well. I would also like to add that to get great service most agents would require you to be as dedicated to them as they are to you. Honesty will get you much further, the agent may be upset when you tell them, OR what they should do is start working with you a little more aggressive to make sure you are getting what you are looking for. 

Hope this helps!
