The Realtor Investor Relationship

We should settle a few things first before we dive into this topic this month:

“Most investors think that agents only want the easiest commissions.”

False.

“Most agents think that investors are going to run them ragged doing market research, find them the perfect property and then do the deals directly on their own.”

False AGAIN.

Maybe that’s what people think when they focus on working with the new investor, or the new agent.

The worst combination, and when people get the most frustrated, happens when you have a new agent working with a new investor, and neither person has any experience working with investment property.

What a disaster!

That is when they both get the most frustrated and for most people, they just throw in the towel.

The reason why?

EXPERIENCE.

Experience matters.

I have been in this real estate business for 20+ years.

I can’t say that I’ve seen it all, because something new happens all the time and our business is constantly changing.

But, here is the bottom line – My business would have never taken off if I was shy about working with agents or other investors.

In my early years, I was laser focused on who I wanted to work with and do deals with. I actively searched out people who had experience and tried to learn from them.

Today, I have a “real estate license”. I am also an “investor”. Neither of those titles has stopped me from working with other agents or other investors. In fact, I think having both “titles” has strengthened my business.

I’m going to open my “playbook” a bit at our next WREIA meeting and explain more.

You can borrow what works for you and exclude the rest.

You might notice this is a theme at all of our monthly meetings at WREIA – your Network is your Net Worth.

What we mean by that is this:
If you grow who and what you know in this business you will reap the rewards as you apply that knowledge, network and execute on your plan.

Here is your invitation – Come out and join us at our final 2019 WREIA meeting!
