The more agents you have looking, the better

[Rodney Lorenzo]

In reading the BRRR book by David Greene, he encourages investors to find the top realtors in the areas you want to invest in and make them a part of your team. I got the impression that the more agents you have looking for you on your behalf, the better chance you have of finding good deals. My only concern is that, these days, agents want to have you sign an exclusive contract which prevents you from going with other agents. Any advice on how to get multiple agents to look for deals, without having them throw a contract that will limit you to them only?

I don't like that advice. The top agents in the area aren't going to take new buyers serious, or give them the full effort required to get deals. Why would they, they're already on top?  A better bet would be finding a hungry agent who is trying to get to the top. 

Also you shouldn't be counting on agents to tell you if a house is valued correctly or not, if you can't determine that on your own don't buy anything yet.
