Should I get a new real estate agent? I feel like she isn't really listening to me, because she keeps showing me houses that are not anything like what I'm looking for; but it feels rude to replace her because she's taken me to three different homes

Well, are there any houses like the one's you're looking for near your area? Plus it's pretty normal to view even more than 3 homes before you land on one that you do like.

I wouldn't really say that's a valid reason to fire your agent, at least without additional context. Sometimes what clients want is simply not available in their area or possible at their budget. 3 houses are also not that many honestly, I'd say you should still give them the benefit of the doubt

Are they listening to NONE of what you say? Finding a home sometimes requires a bit of compromise but if they're completely disregarding your needs then yeah it's understandable to consider hiring a different agent

Here's an article on when it's okay to fire your realtor, I think they cover everything pretty accurately so it's worth a read: https://www.hoodhomesblog.com/selling/when-to-fire-your-realtor/

I've always said one of the most important aspects of working with a realtor is making sure that you have some sort of compatibility. Buying a home is no joke and if someone's going to help you it should be someone that inspires confidence in you

if you're not happy with their service, it's probably best to find someone who can better meet your needs. Have a conversation with your agent about what you're looking for in a home and see if they can be more attentive to your needs. If they can't, it might be time to find someone new.

Yes but it wasn't a funny or embarrassing moment, I walked in on one of our guests passed out on the floor, seemingly unconscious. I found some substances that to this day I never found out what it actually was but this man had medicated himself to the point of passing out and I couldn't wake him up. I just called my manager and ran out of there it was a little scary I had neve seen anything like that

Yes, you should get a new real estate agent. A good real estate agent will take the time to listen to your needs and show you houses that fit your criteria. If your current agent is not doing this, then it is time to find someone who will.

If you feel like your real estate agent is not listening to you, then it may be time to find a new one. A good real estate agent will take the time to listen to your needs and show you houses that are suitable for you. If your current agent is not doing this, then it is time to find someone who will.

If you're feeling frustrated with your real estate agent, it might be time to consider finding a new one. It sounds like she isn't listening to what you're looking for in a house, and is instead just showing you properties that aren't a good fit. By finding someone who is better tuned in to your needs, you'll be able to save yourself a lot of time and frustration.
