Do any exist?! The buyer's agent I worked with only works in one county. Do they all work in one county? Or are there any that work in several counties in the same area?

Most BUYER's are focused on one ZIP CODE

When several county borders are near one another... certainly.
Still, most will focus in as tight radius as needed to make a market.

Where are you looking?
And maybe you need to hold off looking until you can narrow your focus.

I work in 4 counties. It's not more than 10 miles to any of those counties since I'm near the edge. I don't work at the other end of the county I'm in since it's 90 miles away and not in my MLS.

It depends. Acreage specialists will often cross over many counties, but most agents limit their range.

Honestly, you don't want an agent that covers that much territory. There is no way to stay up on all the happenings in that many places. I cover two counties, but not all of each county. (The county line runs through my city)

I work one very large county primarily and when requested I will extend out to the surrounding counties. I am very comfortable with the surrounding counties but I specialize in one.

My service area is about 110 square miles. 2 zip codes. NinaN has a very interesting service area that I'd bet I couldn't deal with.

DMenscha, you probably cover a larger area than me. I just happen to live in El Dorado county, right next to Placer and Sacramento counties, and a bit further to Amador county. I try to keep it close to home, but when people move to the area and hire me, they often haven't yet chosen where exactly they will live.

Amador is the furthest for me and has been sales for friends. I won't take any more buyers there, too far!
