New agent approached by investors

[Tony Stone]

Hello biggerpockets family. My friend is a new real estate agent who hasn't closed her first deal yet. Today, through a mutual friend, she was introduced to a gentleman who is part of an investment group. He informed her that his group is looking to buy and flip properties in her city and they need a good real estate agent with connections with contractors, lenders, etc. She has no experience dealing with investors obviously, as she is a new agent. I've already suggested that she go on bigger pockets and seek out agents in her city that specialize in flips or rehab properties. Is there any other advice you can give me that I could share with her? Especially about her fear of another agent stealing her potential clients. Thank you
