I’m a first time home buyer and have been working with a realtor who I met at an open house, and I’m not sure if my expectations for what he should be doing are too high, or if I need to find a new realtor. He has been taking me to a lot of showings that he has never been to before (which turn out to be crappy and thus a waste of my time) or a lot that are out of my price range. The best we have seen are all from searches I’ve done on my own, and sent to him to set them up. Is it wrong of me to expect that he would be doing research on places outside of his own company, and to have viewed them prior to taking me there? ANd are realtors necessary in today’s market, when all the housing information is available to everyone?
