What to expect out of a real estate agent
Hello BP!
I'm a new real estate investor and got connected to a real estate agent from a friend who is an active investor in our area. The agent has been delightful to work with - answers questions very quickly, flexible schedule, and overall has been very helpful.
What should my expectation be in terms of finding leads? Does my real estate agent's responsibility end at getting me set up on the MLS? Should they be finding leads outside of the MLS? I have been set up for email alerts on the MLS, and other than that, my agent has not brought any other leads to me. Is that expected? I really enjoy working with this agent, but don't know if I should be expecting more in terms of finding leads.
Can ya'll give me your thoughts?
Thanks!

@Joe McGovern Are you willing to pay your agent out of pocket if they bring you off market stuff? If yes, then also include off market stuff. If you are not willing to come out of pocket, stick to the MLS.
