Does anyone use different agent for buying and selling flips?

[Mike B.]

I am nearing the end of my first flip and I have planned all along to use a different agent for the sell vs. the buy. I may not continue this way, but it is my plan for this project. My reasoning is to 1.) get a taste of two different agents from the perspective of flipping (I've bought sold my own homes several times) and 2.) try to get agents with more aligned specialites...i.e. my buy agent has lots of investment experience, foreclosures, etc. and is an investor himself. For sale, i want someone that can sell ice cubes to eskimos and maybe even specializes in the area and demographic (for example first time home buyers or young professionals looking to expand/start family or price range etc. etc.). I believe this is sound from the business side of things, but is it ok from an agents view? I never gave any indication tot he buy agenet that I would use them for the sale listing. In the future, I may be more upfront about this. Any thoughts or experiences?
