Evaluating a realtor

[Kyle McCane]

Hi all, 

So I'm working on my network and had a chance to meet with a realtor today. He happens to be an old friend of mine that I hadn't seen in years. I'm still new to the REI world. I would be doing more fix and flips and maybe some wholesaling.

A little about him. He has only been an agent for about a year so I'm concerned about his level of experience. On the positive side he has run (and still is) a current electrical contractor. He's run that business for the past 20 years. 

What should I be looking for in a realtor that will help me?
