The Role of a Realtor in a Wholesale Deal

[Nancy Eardley]

Hi Folks ~ Newbie here,

I'm wondering how a real estate agent factors into a Wholesale deal. As I read different subjects, they say that a realtor can provide MLS information on cash buyers, areas, etc. I can't imagine they would do this out of the goodness of their hearts, so there must be something in it for them. Is there a "normal" procedure I don't know about? If so, how does it work? How does their commission get paid?

Thanks for any and all input!

Nancy.
