Finding a property without using my agent

[Ian Kisbert]

I have been talking with a realtor about finding my first investment property out of state, however as I have been looking at zillow/realtor, I found a deal that I think might work.  Would it be best to send this to my agent to get her take on it?  Again, this is my first deal, and an out of state one, so I am figuring getting her opinion from a buyer's agent point of view may be beneficial and could also help me negotiate the price down a bit.

You are the buyer... no reason not to use your own agent when buying on-market deals (since the seller pays commission costs).
