Christian,
You need to consider your future needs as well as current when starting up a relationship with an agent:
1. Will you be working in PA only or will you be investing in other states.
2. Will you be strictly 1-4 family properties or will you be growing into apt. bldgs. (5+ units)
3. Will you be hiring any employees
4. Will you be doing any new construction or Flips
5. Will you be doing any real estate sales or leasing
6. Will you be partnering on deals
If any of the above are possibly in your future and you don't want to be dealing with multiple agents. Another thing to consider when selecting an agent is how many companies do they represent. I find that often, the best company in one town is not the best in another.

Highly recommend Red Rabbit Insurance. Ryan is amazing. Ping me if you need a direct contact. Majority of their business is investors. Lives in Lehigh Valley.
Shoot me a PM if you want some referrals. I assume you are actually looking for a broker instead of a company.
