I'm doing some interviews trying to get the pieces in place to start flipping houses. What do you say to an agent who you've spent time talking to and don't want to rub the wrong way, but you will not be using them for the majority of the services you need performed? I would love for them to bring leads if they find them, but I don't plan on using them to sell or even actively help me look.

Thanks, guys, for the advice. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I would have thought a little bit more about the question before I asked.

I certainly never had any intention of being dishonest with anyone, I was just looking for things that have worked for you all to maintain a positive relationship with realtors so that they do bring deal opportunities even if they aren't going to get the listing on the back end. Will Barnard, you're advice was definitely helpful. I think my mistake was thinking that it had to be an all or nothing relationship. As you guys helped me remember, that's not what networking is always about.
