Experience Investors always say-Make sure you build your team first. That statement is truely critical when building a successful RE. Investing Bus. With that said, however, I don't think it's necessary as long as you have acquired the specific knowledge you need to get started. Joining a Investment club or working with a mentor until you feel comfortable doing your own deals. Then, you can hire a CPA and attorney!

If your a buyer-you need a exclusive buyer agent! We're hard to find but we are here. Any agent who works for a broker who also takes seller listings etc, cannot represent you as a buyer EXCLUSIVELY! 100% Representation-Works for you only-Never the seller!! With that said however, there are many excellent agents out there who do know what working for a buyer means!

Joe's answer is the most accurate. In most cases; the listing agent works exclusively for the seller-Period! If the seller has a set price or range they will accept and it's in writing-the agent must adhere to the contract. However, if it's a reasonable offer-most agents will talk to the seller about it. I work with Buyers only. The listing agents hate it when I tell them I will present my buyer clients offer in person. I tell them they can be present but I don't ever tell them what the offer price is going to be. I make sure I get as much info about the seller as possible and I will never have just one offer on the table. Give them a choice. Cash, Terms, or both.
