Do Agents despise working with house flippers?

[Trevor Sambrano]

I am working diligently to find deals by driving for dollars, reaching out to wholesalers, building a website, etc. Today I decided to call several agents in the area and discuss what I was looking for as an investor, and that I was a cash buyer ready to purchase now should they bring me a deal. Further, I explained that if they brought me the deal, I would use them as the listing agent once the house was rehabbed and ready to list back on the market.

What I found however, was that most the agents I spoke with said they don't work with investors. Some also seemed quite bitter at the fact I was even in the business and wanted their help in assisting me to find a deal. What I can't figure out is why would an agent act this way toward a person (or small LLC in my case) who is willing to purchase a home they bring for cash, and realist for them to double dip. What is this tension I am missing between agents and investors???
