This is my first post. I’m just starting to do some researching on real estate investing. I have a potential deal in the pipeline that I found on craigslist. My question is, how can I verify the credentials of the agent that I’m working with?
Are you referring to the lisitng agent or another agent you have found? Is the property a REO? If the property is a REO, deal directly with the listing agent representing the bank. Or if you choose to use your own, make sure they have REO experience. Find a REO Specialist in your area. Normal retail agents will cost you time and money! Their REO learning curve will hurt you in the pocketbook.
