Working for a not for profit agency, I my salary is not nearly what I would like it to be but I have a great work-life balance with flexible time off.  

Does anyone around the Spokane area work with particular real estate agencies?

Some agencies actually terminate you if you do not close a certain number of transactions.

@GinoBarbaro, Here in Illinois brokers are reluctant to allow an agent to represent a buyer and seller in the same transaction. ..it's called duel agency.  

Sure you might have legal recourse...but do you think a person who would break a lease is the kind of person who cares that you would send them to a collection agency?

He's championed some reform through other agencies such as getting a law passed (state I believe, doubt it was Federal) that siblings can't be separated.

I was hoping I could get some recommendations on a good real estate agency that offers favorable splits for investors. 

So as usual with the state agencies that oversee much of the real estate industry in Maryland we get a very vague answer.

Probably the starting point is finding your credit score on one of the 3 credit agencies... this is free and you can do it once each year.  

Here in the midwest options fees range from 5-8,000$ and you can have them get with a credit repair agency and a leader and monitor the status of their approval so they can buy within the 12 or 24 months.
