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??

To conclude this post, I ended up letting my realtor know I'm looking for a more investor friendly partner. She was totally fine with it and understood my situation.  My lesson learned from this is that I should have just been honest with her from the get-go and resolved the situation earlier.

Being honest means that we may still work together in the future and I can send her leads in the future for personal residence inquiries.
