Real estate agent question

[Stacy White]

Are there real estate agents that specifically work with investors? The agents I’ve contacted do not seem interested in helping me locate investment properties. They won’t even send me info on foreclosures and REOs. I can understand that from a commissions standpoint. Do I need to contact the company and ask if they have someone that specializes in investment properties?

Also, if we purchase properties at auction, do I need to bring a realtor? Would it be beneficial to bring a realtor? Will they allow me to attend and just observe an auction to learn?

Thank you!
