Working with an agent

Fred Hamilton III

I'm a newbie and I've found an investor friendly agent to work with. She wants to be reassured that I won't close a deal on leads she will send my way. What can I do to give her piece of mind and build the relationship as I'm looking to keep Her around for as long as possible

@ I'm licensed in Texas (Inactive status, so I'm not trying to steal your agents business) and have worked with a large number of investors there. Here's my thoughts.

Your agent is nervous of spending a lot of time analyzing deals and sending them off to you only to have another agent write the offer MOST LIKELY BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN BURNED BEFORE. I cannot tell you how disloyal many buyers are. Remedy to the situation is quite simple, but it adds to her paperwork. Offer to sign a buyer/broker representation agreement that is specific to each lead she sends your way. After a while she'll know you are a loyal client and will probably back off on the agreement. Just request she send the agreements via docusign to save you time and paper.
