Real Estate Agents want to keep the Good Ones?

Corazon B.

So real estate agents have access to the MLS where they can see all of the properties currently available. And so they can see it before anybody else can, unless ofcourse you go door to door or do intense research on your own to find good deals without real estate license. If real estate agents recommend a property, I always think why couldn't they buy this themselves if this is a good deal? Why are the properties even there in the listings for more than 30 days?

@Corazon B.

I have found that not many agents are also real estate investors. In addition, if they are real estate investors, they might not have the funds available for every good deal. A listing that has been on for a while might be an opportunity in disguise. I have purchased properties that were on the MLS for 4+ months before.
