Most of us selling properties right now don't need buyers with special need/arrangements in order to lock in profit or save money on the sale listing.

I understand it'll most certainly need to be tweaked per our specific arrangement, but would love to have a draft to review.

I'm not sure what to look for in a listing agent, or the agreement/arrangement to have.

This is quite normal to sign in order to protect the agent for this one property.Might be other exclusive arrangements out there ...Some other threads where this has been discussed:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/49488-what-is-an-exclusive-contract-w-agent-http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/21/topics/45169-what-is-typical-in-buyer-s-agreements-http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/75732-question-about-changing-real-estate-agentshttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/16661-why-work-with-a-buyer-s-agent-

They arrange the paperwork according to the lender's wish and then send them to underwriting.

While your heart is obviously in the right place, you need to recognize that you may not be qualified, again, more conventional education.In some cases, non=profit organizations assist folks in default, you might try to volunteer for the experience, then obtain the license requirements and move forward.My suggestions about buying the note may be prudent when you already know the borrower or where they contact you to buy, then you might offer the note purchase arrangement

I was going to say many investors get paid on hope and a prayor, but I see your question was more involved.Will outlined it well, just don't let a note lender be allowed profits too, that profit sharing is another animal and is a partnersip arrangement, keep a lender as a lender.
