What value can a real estate agent bring

[Ini Umana]

Good morning BP members!

Just wanted to know besides running comps, what are some other reasons why you would want to have a real estate agent on your team? What value do they bring to you, specifically to wholesaling?

My other question is if you have a real estate agent that is always running comps for you, how do you compensate their time? Do you pay for each time they do it or is it as simple as telling them you will send business their way?

Thanks for your time!
