Investor and real estate agent relationship

[Stephany Trombello]

What kind of qualities do investors look for when choosing a real estate agent they want to work with to buy and sell their rehabs/flips?  I would think it would be important for the agent to be well-versed in REOs and short sales, but lately that doesn't seem to make a difference.  I know that the agent's marketing stradegy would play a big role in deciding on an agent they would like, but what specifically within the marketing strategy appeals to investors? What other factors do they consider when choosing an agent?
