Do your realtors find you deals?

[Josh Darley]

BP,

I'm curious to know how much your realtors do for you in this market, particularly in finding good deals for you.  Aside from setting up an automated search, I have yet to have my realtor reach out to me and say, "hey i think this property is a great deal" or something along those lines.  I know it is very competitive out there right now, and I also know that the criteria I've given her should dictate what comes to me on the automated feed, but I was hoping for a little more help.  I am struggling to find a good buy and hold, and I'm also pretty flexible on price point, location, etc.  I am not trying to bash on realtors here, I just want to know if I should be looking for something more out of my realtor.  Aside from this one concern (which may be nothing to be concerned about) I think she is a great realtor.  We have purchased multiple properties with her, and I will likely continue to recommend her to other people.

Thanks in advance.

Josh
