Realtor interested in working with an investor

Searching for a realtor to join my network to help find properties in MD (Central Region). Having a tough time finding a realtor interested in working with an investor - even considering getting my realtor license as well so I have access to data on MLS without them. Thoughts? Suggestions?

@Edward A. 

I have great agents I work for. In a couple of areas I had to switch agents. My agent in california is one of the best in the area.  The way we work. She sets my up in the system so I automatically get listing in my "neighborhoods". I check every listing. When one comes in my price range, I email her "why". She always know the answer, than if I wish, we submit a low ball contract and go on. I don't go see the properties until they have been accepted by the bank. So far I have only invested in Short sales, since all the houses are new, cookie cutter, It is all based on the numbers. 

I honestly think you ability to find an agent is going to be your expectations. I also give her tons of recommendations and other business. We have been working together for almost 1.5 years so it is definitely a relationship that grows. I wasn't this comfortablle in the beginning, heck I almost fired her. So you will have "moments" no matter what you do. I definitely recommend you check out your area. I know I have no interest in becoming a realtor out here.
