Do you need an agent to submit offers for wholesale deals?

[Chris Piper]

I've had a lot of people ask me if you need an agent to submit your offers for you or if you can submit them yourself. I've never used an agent to submit my offers so I don't know, but would like to know so I can help the people asking me. I also get asked if you do use an agent to submit wholesale deals, what happens when you find a cash buyer? Is the agent out of the picture with no commission? Any help would be appreciated.
