Are Good Real Estate Agents Hard to Find

I am fairly lucky investor to have a very good seasoned broker who does spend time with me. I recently have been looking in far away areas to invest in and had to look for another agent.

When approaching a new market the first thing I like to do is call Realtor signs to test out a couple of agents and go from there. Usually this is a decent way to find an agent to start looking. Typically I would get a response in a few days a most, but now the time frame is just ridiculous. I think out of ten agents one responded within twenty-four hours.

A real estate broker friend of mine has a small office where she is the only agent. She has over fifty bank owned properties that she is listing. She had to hire three people just to manage all of them besides working sixteen hour days herself. The worst part is that she has barely sold anything.

It is getting to the point that these real estate offices just keep on getting a larger and larger inventory of listings without selling anything. It almost seems like they like to accumulate the darn things.

The MLS listings everyday just keep on growing. I mean one might sell but ten with pop up at the same time. These real estate offices have so many listings for the banks it is crazy. Did you know that it takes the real estate office a couple of weeks just to list a property once given to them by the bank. Just imagine how many vacant properties are sitting in transition right now.

I really don't understand why these agents are working so hard for these banks with very little compensation. I guess it is the only way to survive in this game.

I give some credit to these agents they are working really hard to stay alive. You can now see who is a real real estate agent not just some one chasing the dollars.

There are still a lot of great realtors out there today willing to help you, but it is getting hard to find. It is not their fault they are so busy. People are only capable of so much.

I would not blame the realtors to much if you are trying to put offers in. They are stuck between you and the banks. Just keep on trying and if you are intent someone will give you the time of day. I am not trying to say all realtors do not call you back. I'm really just saying that they are very busy and have no time.
