We are looking for a house in a 20 mile radius between Pa and Ohio. Could a realtor from Ohio do a Pa house or vice versa?

Many agents who live in areas that border two or more states carry licenses in both states. I am sure that you can find one that does and you can be loyal to that agent.

I would think you should be able to find an agent who is licensed to work in both states in the area. Call around or search the web. Unless it is a real rural area. Good luck!

Unless they carry two licenses, one for each state then they personally could not handle the transaction. What you could do is see if there is a brokerage that has offices in both states. They have two agents help you for the transaction and when you buy, they can split the commission.

Just remember that an agent is more than a tour guide and they do much more than show homes and are strictly on commissions. So when you find an agent or two and are happy with them, stay loyal to them and they will be loyal to you.

Any reason why you are considering looking in two states opposed to one?
