Investors, What is a big value add that an agent can provide?

Hello Everyone, 

I'm an agent on Long Island that's looking to work with investors, however being relatively new to the space I would like to know what kind of value an agent could possibly provide to an investor. 

IMO experienced investors who fix & flip, brrrr, wholesale, etc. on the regular probably aren't inclined to working with an agent since they're used to analyzing deals and have specific metrics they use to measure the viability of the investment. I could see newer investors who are buying their first property (or some of the first few) being inclined to use an agent for reassurance and guidance in different markets. 

So what's something (if anything) that an agent could do to provide value and build a working relationship with investors?

Speed and communication are both big. But one value many don't think about it is a general knowledge of rehab and construction expenses. This is particularly good for new investors or out of state investors as they're inexperienced in estimating what needs to be done and the costs and it's not practical to get a contractor to look at each lead nor wise to accept the estimates of the seller.
