The answer should be simple BUT... what if the agent doesn't want to be found by that person?  :-(      I would never encourage a buyer/seller to work with me if they are working with another agent but, this might not be a buyer or seller at all.  I'm not sure we should do their detective work.  I'd probably just say, I'm sorry but he/she doesn't work here.  If, however, I was in an office where that agent had worked... and moved... I would probably give them the number if I had it.

If someone called asking for someone by name, I'd quickly look them up in our MLS roster and give them the number. If they aren't listed in MLS I wouldn't spend any more time on it.

I'd say I don't have that number, unless I knew the agent and then I'd direct that caller to him/her.... I've trained many real estate agents in this area and most are either top producers. managers or broker/owners.... if I have a relationship with them, they WILL be found.

Real Estate Law From A Practical Perspective

True story, this happened to me several years ago.  Person was looking for this agent by name - I didn't know the person - so I asked the normal "is there something that we can assist you with?" question.  Turned out the person he was looking for used to do rentals for him in an office that claimed to be the owner of my independently owned franchised office (tsk, tsk) so I had no problem whatsoever in doing the next thing.  Taking the listing for his mother's estate and her $1 million home which we were able to sell in-house to a developer client with another agent's client who actually knew the family and basically sealed the deal with the son/administrator who contacted my office.  Three years later, we still meet for lunch whenever he is in town!

If I didn't have the # handy, I would just tell them to google the agent. It's probably someone that is too lazy to look up the agent. But I would ask for their name and # and tell them i will look it up on MRIS roster when i get a chance and call them back with the info.
