Is David Greene wrong?

[Sean Mcmahon]

I apologize if this is a newbie question and for the provocative title :)

In David’s book Long-Distance Real Estate Investing, he says its beneficial to find an agent who is also an investor in the area. I understand the benefits of the on-the-ground knowledge and the unique perspective an investor-agent brings.

But won’t that agent keep all the best deals to themselves?

[Greg Scott]

Maybe.  But, who cares?  

If you can buy a great deal, would you skip it because the agent got a slightly better deal?

If you would, please send all those great deals to me!
