You won't find true deals on the MLS here in Denver. Sure you can get lucky and the market has saved a TON of investors lately, but the deals aren't there. They always get bid up to where it doesn't make sense, for me anyways.
Your agent doesn't have a network for off market deals. Very few do because it takes relationships, experience, etc and not just setting up an auto email. The MLS is also garbage in and garbage out. It's difficult to fine tune some of the searches because what is being put into the MLS is bad data from the listing agent.
I often tell my clients that I cast a wide net because I'd rather them tell me no instead of me making that decision for them.
Also, most agents have NO IDEA what it costs to flip a home, especially now with material and labor shortages. A flip for me can be between $40k-$150k depending on scope of work. Even fewer agents have that background.
It's also VERY dry and has been for decent off market stuff. A lot of wholesalers were dealing homes to zillow, etc. The iBuyers have been taking a chunk of the market too that would usually go to someone off market.
I'd suggest talking with her about it and be honest in what you are looking for. Ask her straight up if she can help or not. If you don't like her answer, then find another agent. Work on finding your own deals too. Use your network. That's where I find the best ones.
