Hi guys - hoping someone with experience can weigh in. I have been working with a real-estate agent to find rental properties. We haven't turned up much on MLS or via the agent's channels, so I was already thinking about looking off-MLS (postcards, etc) and FSBO to see if I can find better prices that way. If I were to find an FSBO or similar situation where the seller doesn't want to pay an agent's fee, does it even make sense to have an agent? Basically, I am thinking that if I am going to do the work to generate leads on properties, how can an agent really even help? Or am I just working with the wrong type of agent? I've purchased two residences before without an agent and am comfortable with the process. The reason I started working with an agent in this case is because I am looking for rentals in a new market (that I don't live in) and was learning about the area. Since then, I've realized that MLS doesn't work for me, and I will have to hustle off-market to find what I want.
