Hi

Thanks you for your replies!

Just to be clear: we ARE doing our homework, are studying maps and geography, demographics etc and our broker was actually surprised by the research work we've been doing (which made us think she must not work with OOS investors so much). We had the conversation with our criteria 10 days ago because we know the kind of property we'd like to buy but we received listings that are not in line with the conversation, that don't make sense, as if we never had the conversation...

We never bought in Cleveland but we did in Maryland (rental), NYC (primary residence) and Paris (live-in flip). 

We are pre-approved.

@Brian Garlington could you please message us your contacts?

Thanks!

Hi there!

We're coming to Cleveland this coming weekend (6th through 8th of March). It will be our first visit. A realtor was supposed to take us around for the weekend but we have to switch because we understand after the last call we had today that she isn't used to working with investors. 

We therefore need a professional in the Cleveland area used to working 1) with people looking for buying an investment property and not a primary residence (emotion vs numbers) 2) people who even if they're working hard to understand the city's geography don't know the area like the back of their hand and need guidance and insight of an insider, who need someone who pro-activily suggests potential interesting neighborhoods that make sense for the project and doesn't wait for the buyer to ask what about here? what about there?) 3) people that need effectiveness, that want to receive relevant listings and not listings that don't make sense in terms of location and/or price (= waste of time to study that). I'm from a different country and I'm not used to having a buyer broker so maybe I'm not clearly understanding what a buyer broker is supposed and not supposed to do. Though, I have other reasons to think the lady we now have doesn't meet our expectations to be part of our team. If anyone has a name in their sleeve to share, that'd be great. We're a bit defeated because it is quite urgent!
