@Tiana Walker, congrats on pursuing a deal!  I will give you my very short answer, and if you need I can elaborate.  2 things:

1) Do you know and trust this person?  Do they give you the impression of a snake?

2) You will have what is called a Buyer's Agency Agreement, a contract that legally obligates the agent to put YOUR interests above their own.  If you do find out they "steal" you deals (which is unlikely), you will be legally protected.

This will be a learning process to find a good agent, build a relationship, and keep them on your team.  I would recommend interviewing multiple agents and tell them your intent.  Ask them specific questions about their "investing."  This will help you decide in they really invest or just help other investors.  Hope this helps!

Jarrett, thanks for the post and for your service.  I am in a similar situation to yours.  I got out of the military about 2 years ago and have pursued a career in real estate.  I'd love to connect with you and see if I can help out.  

@Lisa Hoover, do you do any work outside of the Charlotte area?  I am there about once a month but do most of my business in Fayetteville.  I look forward to hearing from you :)

@Shane Harrison, were you able to find a recommendation? I can give you the name of the attorney I have been working with.  I know they deal with banked owned properties.
