@Jonathan Greene Wow, guys thanks for the responses! This is a question that I was struggling to find an answer to but with you guys help, I definitely have a clearer understanding of this particular situation. 

@Antoine Martel Trust seems to be the one thing connecting agents and investors. I've had some bad experiences with business partners in the past, which was my main concern when starting this post.

@Joe Funari Okay that clears things up a bit. So when finding deals on the MLS, my goal is to get it under contract for an investor and once the investor finishes the rehab I'll be able to list it, correct?

Sorry for asking so many questions, just want to make sure I understand your point.  

@Joe Funari I understand that trust plays a huge role in an investor-agent relationship. What systems do you have in place for compensation for your agents that bring good deals?

Hey BP! I was curious to see how agents who find deals for investors get paid. Do you, as the agent, get the investor to sign a buyers agency agreement to ensure a commission or do you get some type of referral fee to allow the investor to close the deal faster?

I spoke with an investor and he mentioned that he was bothered by the fact that his agent insisted that he go to the agent's office to sign a buyers agreement which lead to the deal falling through because of time constraints. 

As a new agent here in Maryland, I'm worried that I might be taken advantage of if I find a good deal for the investor and not getting paid for my work. How do you protect yourself and provide great and quick service to an investor?

Thanks again for the help!

@Malcolm Lawson I hope so!

@Gabriel G. Thank you! I hope to learn a lot with my team here in Millersville MD

@Laura Tokgozoglu I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words.

Hey BP! My name is Carlos and I've just registered with Keller Williams in Millersville Maryland. I listen to the Bigger Pockets Podcast every night and learn something new!

 My goal as a newly licensed agent is to work primarily with investors rather than first-time homebuyers. I wanted to share my "expertise" here with the bigger pockets community and hopefully, work with one of you! Anyone looking for an agent that specializes in Real Estate Investing in Anne Arundel County, Prince George's County, Montgomery County, Howard County, and Baltimore County I'll be glad to help!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

 Good luck! Make sure to study hard. 

I look forward to working full time with fellow BP members.
