Investor Friendly Agent

[Jay Marco]

Hello All!

Greetings. I am curious to know the difference between an 'Investor Friendly Agent' and a 'Regular Agent', in terms of:

1. Services

2. Pricing

3. Savings

4. Anything else

Also how would one know that an agent is indeed 'Investor Friendly'?

If I am not asking the right questions regarding this topic, please feel free to correct me and add more to the questions. 

Thank You!

Mods: Please feel free to move the thread to multiple and/or correct area.

An agent who is also an experienced investor & also promotes themselves as wanting to help investors is extremely valuable. Understanding the numbers, lending differences & pitfalls.

The majority of real estate agents cater to the person looking for a home to live in. Their criteria & support needed are completely different.

There is no "pricing" advantage using an investor friendly agent, the main value is experience and consulting on how to acquire investment properties.

Savings are in avoiding costly mistakes.

Services: Some may offer to provide comps & sending more offers compared to most agent.  It's best to have clear expectations to see what they are willing to provide. Many don't want to work with newer investors because they spend a lot of time with non income producing activity and the investor doesn't do any business.
