As a real estate agent, you don't know what an investor is.
As a real estate agent, you don't know what an investor is.
You truly don't. But it's not your fault.
In a world of online gurus, unfortunately I've been seeing a staggering amount of "coaches" teaching a method that is ruining the reality of real estate investing as we know it...
It's called "Agent Outreach".
This is a method being used by thousands of people to try and find wholesale deals, properties needing work typically below 70% of the ARV, in order to make an assignment fee.
There's nothing inherently wrong with wholesaling.
But this type of method to find deals is horribly misleading agents.
I wish it didn't exist, and truly wish there were more regulation around requirements for wholesalers to just be licensed.
The good news is, we at BiggerPockets teach what real estate investing truly is.
Therefore, if an agent decides to advertise themselves on our Agent Finder, we know they'll get qualified and active investors that buy rentals, STR, house hack or even fix and flip but at least they're not wholesalers.
The biggest compliment we get from our Agent Finder professionals is the repeat business and long term relationships driven from it.
You can get 1 client that buys 6 deals from you between August and December.
How would 1 client like that change your life?
Only investors buy more than one deal. But they must be an actual buyer.
Otherwise, it's smoke and mirrors.
