Competing with my agent?!

[Todd Solberg]

I have a signed contract with an agent to look for an investment property. My agent is also a successful investor and am attempting to follow a similar path. My agent is helpful in describing Reno costs, etc. That said, my agent sent me a property and I replied within 24 hours of an interest in viewing it, turns out my agent placed an offer already. I'm concerned that my agent and I are competing for the same properties. Is this bizzare?
