Depends on the agent. What you should do is interview a few agents and get a few that are hardworking and willing to walk you through the process step by step. I am the type of agent who puts his all in to each property/person I come across whether it be a 50K house or 2.5M home so look for the dedicated agents who are willing to put the work in with you. 

My suggestion is this. Ensure you provide value to the relationship; you identified basically that the commission on the sale is low and you are aware of that....so how do you plan to provide value to that agent? Business should be a win-win, sadly many investors only seek the win for them self.

So that would be something for you to look at. What value are you bringing the agent. Will you work with that agent on future purchases? Will you refer that agent to other investors? Don’t be that person that tells them that and then acts differently when push comes to shove.
