Finding an Investor Friendly Realtor




Finding an investor friendly realtor is not always easy. When you think about working with a real estate agent, you probably don't think of them as business partners, but changing this mind set can help you find the right realtor to help buy and sell properties quickly while at the same time helping to fill your pipeline with profitable real estate deals which at the end of the day means more consistent cash flow and better profit margins for you.  

Below I have listed some tips on finding an investor friendly realtor:

1)  When considering the opportunity to invest in real estate, you need to think of your realtor as part of your team. Realtors have access to  good  information on market trends, they have access to the multiple listing system or MLS, which allows them to set up search criteria for property searches and finally they have the ability to introduce you to important centers of influence in your local area.

2)  Realtors that understand your objectives and investment criteria can put you in front of real estate deals before they are listed to the public. The caution in this is finding a motivated realtor that understands your objectives and puts your interests ahead of their own.

3)  Before you approach realtors about looking for property to invest in, whether it be for the purpose of flipping houses, rental income or long-term investing, be able to show the agent what's in it for them? Realtors make money when they list houses that sell or when they bring new clients to the table that have cash flow and are motivated to buy. In other words, realtors only make money once a property is sold, so make sure you communicate the advantages of working with someone looking to buy and sell real estate over the long-term.  If you can convince them that you are a motivated customer with a long-term strategy they will likely see the value in getting you the best deals they can find to build and sustain a lasting business relationship.
