How to Become a Priority Client With a Realtor Specializing in Rehabs?

[Burt L.]

I'm going as a stand-in for my co-investor to look at some properties as he is out of town. My co-investor/mentor has said this realtor runs hot/cold with finding profitable properties, and that he suspects the realtor submits others offers of larger clients ahead of his at times - but does produce profitable properties.

I'm going as the newbie to tour properties and want to be seen as someone the realtor will provide profitable properties for.

How can I gain and hold his attention as a client - being a newbie?
