Should my realtor call first on Short Sales?

Profile picture for INTDESR
Contributions: 37

I have been looking at houses for two months and my realtor has been calling on the properties first to find things out like if they accept VA (some realtors have been forthcoming and have said no, I suppose based on the condition of the home), and if they have any offers.  She has explained that she no longer wants to call the listing agents.  I have thought it necessary to call first, but now I'm wondering if I should just listen to her and just put offers in the house.  I am looking at mostly short sales and foreclosures and I while I'm extremely patient I also don't want to waste my time (an hour long drive out to the properties) What do you think?  Do you think it's necessary to call the listing agent before you see the property?
