No reason a contractor can't be friends with an agent - when you've been doing this for a length of time, advising on the best way forwards rather than the way which will make you the most money, you stop being a commodity, and turn into someone the person turns to for advice.
Although I guess if you're a dodgy agent, you're all about the low level transaction tulip.
