So, if you are taking 2% of the 5% from the listing commission, it would not come from the agent, the agent has the contract with the seller for the 5%.

I am Arman Ahmed, a licensed real estate agent, and I am thrilled to join this vibrant community of investors and professionals.

To get exposure as a real estate agent see if any experienced agents in your firm would allow you to assist with open houses or handle buyer referrals for them.

Do I need the agent just to create an offer?

Always happy to help a fellow agent/investor!
