Hello, I am looking to by a house. I am buying it as an investment so I need a honest realtor that understands the Cleveland Area and can help me assess a property as a good investment for the area or not.  I am pre-approved and extremely motivated.

James,

There are any number of agents / turnkey sellers from Cleveland on BP. They are all 'honest' since that is part of the Real Estate ethics 101.

Having said that it is NOT the agents responsibility to make sure everything works out and in fact, no one can. Even the most experienced buyers working with 'honest' agents still makes mistakes.

Ultimately it will be your decision. The agents 'job' is to present you with information and their responsibility to NOT lie. Having said that and no slight to any agent, if it is not on paper and only verbal, be skeptical. You need to be familiar with the process, costs, risks, questions to ask, etc. etc. As a Cleveland resident, you have many advantages over an out of state buyer to confirm quality of area, local prices, cost of any work that needs to be done, etc. etc.

I'm sure this is not the answer you were looking for but it is the truth.

Oren

I really enjoy working with Victor Duqum of VSD Realty.  He owns some investment properties himself, and he is also a licensed contractor, and can help you identify problem areas during walk throughs.  I've bought one house where he has represented me and negotiated a great price on my behalf.  I've also looked at many, and made offers on several through him.  Good luck!

@James DuBois good luck there are a lot of great agents here on BP that sell in the Cleveland area. I personally only work with professionals that also own investment homes. My whole team of support all own their own portfolio of rentals. Realtor, Insurance Agent, Home Inspector, Title Company and Lender all independent landlords on the side. This way, I know they know exactly where Im coming from when I need their services. Many times if they own investments they have often gone through the same things you are experiencing and can give you great advise on top of the service you hired them for.
