Is this normal? Newbie question?

[Whitney Payton]

Hi everyone! I have been working hard to find a good agent, but I haven't had any luck so far. I met with a woman who is an agent with Keller Williams. My fiancé and I met with her, but I ultimately decided to pass on signing an exclusivity agreement with her. The main issue was that she told us during our meeting that each month she puts a home under contract. Once she has done this she pushes her clients to make a deal on this home (rather than focusing on finding the deals that interest us.) I got the feeling she is an agent moonlighting as a wholesaler. This is all fine and dandy, but when I asked her about negotiating on the price she told me there wouldn't be much that could be done because the seller still has a mortgage on the property. Does this sound right? I wasn't interested in this property, but I am curious to know if anyone else has ever had a similar experience.

The other red flag for me was that during our initial meeting she brought her fiancé (who is NOT an agent, but he is a contractor) to the meeting. I felt as though this was a bit weird since it was our first meeting and we hadn't yet decided to even use her. Furthermore, the meeting was a bit weird as we didn't want to offend him, but honestly had no intention of using him (as we are building our own team), 

What are your thoughts on this encounter?

@Whitney Payton, yep, you clearly did the right thing by passing. And yep, I reckon you're right about her moonlighting activities. For investing purposes, I see no reason whatsoever why you (or anyone) should consider using any Agent exclusively! 

Think about it. Will they consider bringing ALL their deals to YOU first, exclusively?

Never going to happen. [If anyone knows otherwise, I'll probably still be incredulous].

If your buying credentials are obvious, ANY Agent should put you on their Buyers List.

But why do you even NEED just one Agent? Conversely, why SHOULD they treat you as special?

It's about give and take. Is what you're OFFERING equivalent to what you're EXPECTING? My 2c...
