Your grammar doesn't need to be perfect in fiction and breaking certain rules is perfectly acceptable so long as you convey the correct meaning. An agent isn't going to turn down a brilliant story because it needs to be proofread.

However, if you know full well that there are lots of grammatical errors and it will require significant re-writing at some point, then clearly you do need to fix it before you send off your manuscript. Especially for the beginning of the manuscript.

If you've noticed the mistakes that implies you are capable of fixing them. If you can't be bothered to present the best work you can -- why should anyone else bother with it or take it seriously?
