Investment Specialist

[Patty Nelson]

I am wondering if anyone can tell me the role of an "Investment Specialist" in buying / renovating/ selling...Are they usually involved in the remodeling process?

All the above responses were spot on...but to make it very simple:

- If your contract is with the investor, you talk to the investor any time you want to and/or any time the investor wants to. You flat-out refuse to sign anything that says you won't talk to the investor, as that will likely open you up to liability (contracts with two parties who have opposing goals, clearly);

- If the "investor specialist" tries to insist on your not talking to the investor (and assuming you have no contract with this "investor specialist"), tell him to piss off -- he has no right to tell you that you can't speak to YOUR client. It doesn't matter if he brokered the deal -- your only contract is with the investor and therefore, that is who you speak with;
