Biggerpockets Is Looking For Agents In Asheville!

My name is Tony, and I work with the Biggerpockets Featured Agent Program!

We’re looking for a few real estate agents in Asheville to fill a couple openings in our featured agent program, so if you’re an agent I’d love to talk with you about receiving what I personally think are some of the best leads on the market!

Think of it this way - there are millions of Biggerpockets members, podcast listeners, and Youtube subscribers who are actively investing - BUT THEY DON’T HAVE A REAL ESTATE LICENSE LIKE YOU DO.

That’s where you come in - we’re looking for rockstar agents like you who want to work with investors. We’d love to help you grow your business by connecting you with these warmed up investor leads!

I’ve now been a part of the Featured Agent Program as an agent in both Nashville, TN and just outside of Los Angeles, CA, and can attribute over $15 million in sales volume from the leads in just over 18 months.

Now, I joined the featured agent sales team because I truly believe in the program and think that you can benefit from it too!

If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a featured agent or know someone who’s interested, just send me a message and we can start a conversation to see if it would be a fit for you. Or, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Keep crushing it!

    Hi Tony, 

    I've been approached about this program several times over the last year. Bigger Pockets has been an invaluable resource for me both in building my investing business and also in my professional role as an agent! I started the Bigger Pockets Asheville meetup two years ago and have watched countless people flourish through connections made in our community. I could not be more proud of the community that's being fostered here. I have been a stalwart promoter of BP's podcasts, books, forums, and in-person events.

    I've personally been really disappointed with the launch of the featured agent program. I was shocked to hear that BP wanted me to pay $1,500 for a few leads from the site. BP has been a large lead source for my business as an agent. In fact, about 30% of all my closed deals have come from BP. That's about $7 million in volume during 2022. This has all been without the Featured Agent program. Not only does it seem unnecessary to me, but I feel that having BP become a paid lead source has diminished the organic, trust-building nature of the platform, which is the lifeblood of any honest forum. I won't attest to knowing all the in's and out's of this program, but my sense is that the heart of Bigger Pockets is honest, down to earth, real advice and support from folks really out there doing it. And the introduction of a paid lead feature feels contrary to the spirit of who I knew BP to be.

    I mentioned to the last staff member that tried to sell me this that for all I've done to promote the Bigger Pockets brand in one of the strongest short term rental markets in the country, I feel the company should be paying me! - not the other way around. Any chance we can push this up the flagpole?

    Agreed. 100%. Hoping BP doesn't try other Zillow-like approaches.
