I'm looking for a realtor in the Greenville SC area to help me locate and submit offers on properties. Let me know if you have any good recommendations.
Deadrick Colbert I'm currently having the same issues trying to find one in the Spartanburg area! But I think if I just start ringing people's phones someone will want to help each other out!
We're currently trying one out and I can let you know shortly how she does. We had an absolutely wonderful Realtor here that would of course help us buy, but would also do flat fee listings on the sell side. But she moved to North Carolina unfortunately. Ours now does 1% commission on the selling side instead of 3% which is a little better, but the jury is still out on her performance.
Keep me updated about what you guys find as well and I'll let you know too.
While on the topic of the upstate. Do you guys know any wholesalers in this area as well? We're looking to pick up some properties for rentals, but I still work a full time day job and it's hard to spend a lot of time looking for properties. So if the deal works I'd be willing to take some off the top for their commission just to get the property. Where are you guys finding most of your properties from at this time in our market? Have you tried any direct mail marketing services?
Chesley, Thank your for the response. I wholesale some deals myself. I have not had much luck with others. Most of what I have been sent from other so called wholesalers are mls listings that are still marked up to the asking price. In other words no room for profit and not a true wholesale deal. I find most properties by driving neighborhoods and calling on vacant houses. I also advertise and get some leads called in to me. Referrals are also useful. I have several folks that I have purchased from that call me when they can't sell a property and have asked me if I'd take it.
Re direct mail, I have not tried it YET but do plan on giving that route a go in the near future. I feel if done correctly, it would be a good source of revenue.
Chesley Hutchison I'm doing wholesale deals in Spartanburg and the Greer area, but have not branched into Greenville yet! I've had a few realtors from Greenville give me a call but none of them know much about the Spartanburg area, which is where I am doing majority of my business!
Deadrick Colbert I'll definitely send you deals if you're looking to fix and flip or buy and hold on the wholesale side. How has the wholesaling been in Greenville thus far? I'd definitely like to work with you on a few properties!
Junior Salters I asked my sister who is also investing in Spartanburg who she uses for her realtor and she highly recommended Steve Bobo with A. S. Bobo Real Estate. His mobile is 864-680-7230. http://www.asbobo.com/
I'm not sure what terms he has but I know she really likes working with him. Hope that helps.
