What questions should you ask a potential realtor you want to work with for deals?

[Matt Lefebvre]

I'd ask about if they've worked with investors before and if possible, find out how those deals went.  Finding a home for a couple looking to settle down, and finding an income property are two very skill-sets, and while some Reatlors have both, many might not and could be showing you properties that are wasting both of your times.  

Some basic questions you might want to ask in addition to that though include how many transactions they've done, what kind of experience they've had (if any) with working with investors, ask them about how comfortable they are submitting low-ball offers on properties, what services they'll provide for you, etc.  

Hope this helps :)
