How Does a Realtor Help Me in a Flip?

[Jennifer Wood]

Hi - this may be a weird question, but I was in a mastermind and explaining how I do not have the time or desire to drive for dollars.  The leader explained to me that finding an investor-friendly real estate agent is how she gets her own deals for flips.  I don't understand how a real estate agent would get access to "investor-worthy deals" when I would think the people they work with aren't in a distressed situation and are looking to sell for a profit.  Can someone shed some light on this for me?
