In my case, the Realtor was a friend of mine, so I didn't have to do anything. As far as letting the Realtor know that you are going to be wholesaling the property- I was referring to the listing agent of the property that you are making the offer on, or the buyer's agent if you are using one. I don't recommend telling them that your intent is to wholesale, as most of them don't understand how it works, and will most likely try to discourage you. As far as what to tell an agent when inquiring about becoming an assistant, I would just be honest with them and tell them you need MLS access. Here'a an article that my friend Kelly wrote about obtaining MLS access- you might find it helpful... http://www.strugglinginvestor.com/2009/08/how-to-get-mls-access-without-your-license/ Hope that helps, Steph Hi Greg,

If I become an assistant, what is expected of me, and what can I expect of the realtor? You also stated not to disclose to a realtor that your strategy will be wholesaling, so how do I approach a realtor in becoming an assistant?

Yeah, I can't believe he's making us wait. I guess that will give him time to recover from a B-Day hangover. :) I'm tickled pink to be in 3rd- hopefully it will stick overnight...Regardless of the outcome, though, I'm really glad I got to participate in the contest- I've met some really awesome people, and found some great new blogs... Good luck tomorrow, and congrats on kicking so much ass in this contest. :) Hey Julie!
