123. Are you working with the right real estate agent?

I’m just getting back from my 3-week tour in the US and reflecting back on some of the simple mistakes I made. I have been loosely looking for property in San Antonio, TX for a couple of years. I think it’s a fantastic market but I found a property I liked in a city where I don't currently have a property and am not currently working with anyone a brand new market for me you could say.

I emailed the broker I was referred to and didn't get much help; bad start. I met them there and I knew more than they did; bad second encounter (although it does have something to say for how much you can learn from thousands of miles away).

The second I left the property I was kicking myself for having begun the “purchasing process” with the wrong agent.

This week we’ll discuss the value of your agent/broker and a few tips for making sure you are with the right one

• My history as a broker /agent
• Finding a broker /agent
