Is it common for agents to work on a property-specific basis?

Like some people have mentioned here: interview for agents that know what they are doing, that know investments, that know how to get ARVs , that know how to assess renovations, construction costs, etc A realtor that has this experience will have a team also: Think Contractors, Architects or drafters, Interior designers, Engineers, inspectors, title reps, and they will also already have whole sellers they have worked with in the past, know how to get direct to seller off market homes for you, hard money lenders or other avenues for cash like offers.

I have been an investor first and agent later, given classes on investing for agents - for some reason they don't get it.

These loans are generally all going to be 30 year fixed rate terms with 30 year amortization and will require a personal guarantee.Now, if you have a property that is $1,500,000 purchase or more, you may qualify for agency commercial lending which is pricing extremely well right now. 

Only issue you may have is if the sellers is over their threshold for non Safe act transactions in a year.. but that's the seller issue in these deals.The State of CA right on its BRE website has a complaint button for agents to turn in folks who are selling properties they don't own  IE brokering without a license I suspect as this stuff gets so main stream ( because of all the perception of easy money and the way to get started to getting rich) the states will ( slowely of course) start to jump in here and hammer folks...

Same goes for agent's in negotiating proficiency, there is the guppies and the sharks.

no need for agents.

Quote from @Jennifer Katherine De Loughy: I would say that a couple of big things for agents and people that you want to come to work at your brokerage and love it..1.

Less transactions in a given year, like last year, equals less closings for agents.
