Out of Area Agents, Gotta Love Em...NOT!
Over the years, I've encountered listings where the sellers have listed with agents out of the area.  Sometimes, WAY out of the area.  Often times, for some reason it seems that these agents are the most difficult to work with.  Many do not respond quickly to inquiries and often times know anything about the home.  I chalk this up to the fact that they probably have never seen the home.  I also have issues with out of the area agents not servicing the listing well enough simply because of their proximity to the home.  Lockboxes being empty, incorrect keys in lockboxes  and missing keys not being replaced for long lengths of time seem to be commonplace because the agent just doesn't want to make the trek all the way out the home just to replace a key.
I can see no good reason to list your standard sale with an agent far away.  But, I do know that sometimes when a homeowner is facing foreclosure, they'll list their short sale with an agent from out of the area due to not wanting to work with a local agent they know.  Perhaps this is because of embarrassment for their situation.  Or because they were contacted by that agent ... more
