Agent and Deal Funnel Etiquette

[Andrew Brewer]

Hi everyone, I had a question about etiquette surrounding your agent and your deal funnel, specifically regarding being sent listings from multiple sources and then pursuing them.

Example: I have an agent, but I am sent a listing from a wholesaler who has a property under contract with the owner of the property and I want to buy said property in cash. Do I involve my agent? Do I need to involve my agent? Is it bad form to not involve my agent?

Example 2: Same scenario as above, but I have had a hard time finding comps on said property and would like it if my agent could try to pull some for me

Does anyone have any insight on how to approach scenarios like this where you get leads from multiple sources? I don't want to alienate people because I am ignorant of proper protocol
