Hi Lisa, As an investor, I have worked with all types of realtors, but for investment property I would say that you have to have an experienced realtor in investment properties or you have to have enough experience for the deal to work with.Experienced Realtor will help you with the contract (which in many cases are not simple), but most importantly with spotting issues in the property that could cost you thousands.Your concern is valid so it is important to sign a Buyer Representation Agreement, in which case the realtor has to work for you over his/her own interest (or you can sue him).The idea is not to sue them, but to make sure you trust them enough to work with them.
