“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

This can’t be overstated, and this is why the right agent is an investor’s best friend. A real estate agent is full-time in the business of working with buyers and, most importantly, banks. Banks do not want to be in the business of selling real estate. Banks have so many properties they don’t know what to do with them all. That is where you and the right agent come to the bank’s rescue and buy some of their most distressed properties.
Imagine how great it would be to have someone you can call, text, or email who has all the answers for all your questions. Most people don’t realize what an asset an agent can be. Not only do they help you find the deals, he or she can supply you with a plethora of information. A real estate agent can also lend you psychological, emotional, and moral support. A good agent will give you motivation and inspire you to go on when you feel like quitting.
