So I contacted a realtor in regards to a property he had listed. I asked him if it was buildable. I got a reply from him that raised some eyebrows. Maybe I'm being overly skeptical, but I just don't know.

First he asked me if I was represented by a realtor. I've inquired on probably 20 properties in the last year, and this is the first time a realtor's ever asked me about this. On a first inquiry, does he really need to know this?

Next he told me he can't tell me if the property can be built on. I have to contact the county and ask them that? Sounds fishy to me, but maybe I'm wrong. Seems like the realtor that's trying to sell the property should know that.

Then he proceeds to tell me I'd better move fast on the property, as many people are looking at it. Just sounds like a hard sell, and shifty answers. Am I wrong to be suspicious here guys? I sure don't claim to be an expert on real estate, but this is the first time I've run into these kinds of responses.
