3 Ways to get Realtors to Work FOR You, and Not Against You

We know that Realtors get a lot of jokes lobbed their way – but we want you to consider something, they’re people too.

On top of that, they’re crucial for helping you find deals.  Here, you’re leveraging OPT and OPK.

Here are the 3 Ways you get them to Earn Their Keep:

1)    Realtors can represent you by Selling a property on     your behalf.  They deal with marketing to find a buyer, schedule and then show your property, and if they’re sales savvy, handle all aspects of closing the property for you while dealing with the Buyer, or the Buyer’s Realtor. Be sure to clearly define up front your objectives with the resale of your property.  Further, as always, only use a proven Realtor that has an excellent track record for sales.

2)    Realtors can represent you for Buying a property on your behalf.  You could sign an agreement with a Realtor having them act as a Buyer’s Agent to find properties which fall under certain guidelines that you’ve deemed fit.  This saves you time looking for deals and focusing on growing your     business…or just head out and play and wait for one of ‘em to call your BlackBerry on a ski lift in Vail to tell you they’ve got a property that has $90K profit in it for you!:-)

3)    Realtors can provide you with in-pocket deals.  That is, they can source deals for you BEFORE they hit the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) so you can get the first jump on a deal before     other investors find out.   Both us and our students are constantly coming across these deals because the relationships we build with our Realtors is first rate.  You beat other investors to the punch, which ensures the price doesn’t get bid up…which eats into your profit!

And, of course, a good Realtor has their own solid power team that you can Leverage.

The key is to finding a good realtor to work with.
