I am a real estate agent that has access to the MLS, but I've seen through my research that the best deals are the ones off-market.

I will get a hold of the agent one way or another. 

All agents are incentivized to sell it's a transactional business and because you are just starting out and in a low barrier market you will encounter many new agents who need to eat and pay for their gym membership and car that month.   

My agent even went as far as going over to the next city/town which is pretty far out and still nothing.

There is also absolutely no defense that these are not "business communications" as it is the business of the average wholesaler, agent or other investor to look for off-market properties as part of their business operations.
