Agents fire clients too.I’ll pay a finders fee as an investor to anybody I legally can that finds a deal for me.  

We sort of have a process and a certain way that our clients are used to.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

My wife is a real estate agent and has a former client (who she sold a home to) that has tasked her with finding 3 new construction single family homes that he can purchase around the Atlanta area in the range of $300k - $375k apiece.

Unfortunately, many transactions never make it there.It's much better than it used to be, but there is still plenty of opportunity out there that I (and my clients) choose to not pursue.

As a buyer, you don't pay commissions and many realtors in tough markets (like mine too) have some not-yet-on market properties that they keep close just for their clients.  

That's the exact kind of situation I'm hoping for--someone looking out for their client. 

While my operating agreements for clients are custom-made, I do not have the tax background to incorporate all of the tax code citations and rule regulations that are pertinent to real estate investors, which are included in Bill Noll's LLC operating agreement. 

My client is looking for hard money.

And I'll even concede that I have seen some lousy deals offered by experienced sponsors, perhaps because they know they have loyal investors based on past experience.
