Have you been clicking random listings online, hoping to connect with the right real estate professional? What if the most important team member for your investment success is the one most investors completely misunderstand and improperly vet?

Al Gordon reveals why the dedicated buyer's agent is the crucial teammate every real estate investor needs - and the specific interview process that separates professionals from pretenders. This isn't about finding just any real estate agent who can show you properties. It's about discovering someone who truly understands investment analysis and will represent your interests exclusively.

You'll learn the exact questions Al uses to interview potential buyer's agents, including how to verify their actual experience with investment properties versus residential sales. Al shares insights from his current property sale experience that demonstrates exactly what happens when agents don't meet professional standards, and why your screening process must be thorough and uncompromising.

What fiduciary duties does a buyer's agent owe me? According to Al, they owe you fiduciary duty, loyalty, full disclosure, and must work to secure the best terms for you at all times because they represent your interests exclusively.

How do I avoid connecting with seller's agents when searching online? Understand that when you click on property listings online, you're often connecting with the seller's agent who owes fiduciary obligations to the seller, not to you as the buyer.

What should I know about the 80/20 rule in real estate? Al explains that 80% of transactions are accomplished by 20% of licensed agents, and the other 20% of transactions are done by 80% of the agents, meaning most agents have very limited experience.
