Apartment purchase advice

I've always used an agent for my SFH purchases. I'm looking at purchasing a small apartment building and wondering if I should loop in my normal agent for the purchase or another professional? Any advice on what I should do?

@Daniel VanRider you're welcome.  While it is possible to have the same broker represent both of you, it's more likely that the broker will only technically represent the seller.  However, if it's a reputable broker, they'll keep your best interest in mind as well because they'll realize that you could also be a future client of theirs.  While relationships are important on the residential side of the brokerage business, they're absolutely essential on the commercial side of it.
