And that includes using a dual agent.You need a sharp agent who puts YOUR interests ahead of everyone else's, including their own - which is why you shouldn't go with a dual agent.When push comes to shove and you need your agent to push hard for a concession, a dual agent won't be able to do so because they're required to act as a neutral party.I'm really surprised to hear that a broker won't allow an agent to do their own deals. 

Wow Jeremy Sharp.

I agree with @Scott Mac , dress professionally...I have several contacts,  RE Agents, that are your age and look as young, they dress real sharp in suits and ties and conduct themselves like pros. 

@Nathan Sharp you should talk to your accountant to make sure you get the most benefit for what your doing. 

@Mike Nuss  if you have not spoken to Mike Nuss I would get a dialogue going with him. super sharp PDX area investor and runs a meet up called RAREBIRD..

Congrats, Chris.You could try talking to Sharp, the big property management company in town, but I would try to get time with Chelsea Baldwin, https://walstead.com/chelseabaldwin.phpWhat we would have done is give 60+ days notice and provide a moving allowance to get them settled elsewhere. 

A sharp seller's agent will call the lender and drill down on those answers before recommending that a seller consider your offer.The same holds true for hard money lenders.

Granted there are some big players but like I always say these are very well financed and sharp operators.. not just someone who woke up one day.. also the bigger wholesalers that I have funded deals for are LICENSED and they do buy their inventory and resell it I know I fund it.. :)  and PS the guy I was talking about was in Mississippi.. and the state of MS department of real estate gave him a cease and desist and a pretty hefty fine.. 

Unless she brings something to the table in terms of REI expertise like a background as an agent, property manager, rehabber, or has the ability to find discounted off market deals or is at least super sharp and really passionate about a starting a new career in REI or something, I don’t see any reason why RE would be a better option than speaking to Vanguard and parking it in a high yield dividend index fund, if it isn’t already in something similar.
