Any Investor friendly Real Estate Brokerages in the Bay Area CA

[Hayden H.]

Hi All,

I'm about to sit for my sales person license and am wondering if there are any investor friendly brokers in the Bay Area that would allow me to hang my license. I am looking to buy property to flip and it would be handy to write my own offers and negotiate the deals. Thanks for your help!

@Hayden H. any brokerage that you hang your license with will be taking a split of commission, so be aware of that. They are assuming a lot of risk in having you under their brokerage, and they will not work for free. Do you have a mentor or someone in a similar situation to this? I'd look to that person to see what they recommend. 

In my opinion, it's always a better idea to work with an agent, especially as the buyer. You pay nothing as the seller pays commission, and you have expertise on your side. Then again, I am an agent so I am a little biased! I'd recommend looking for someone who is investor-friendly in the area and interview a few. Ask a lot of questions!

Best of luck!
