Investor friendly real estate agents?

Question

Hi guys,

I a m looking for an investor friendly buyer side real esatte agent that would put 10 offers on properties I've just located TODAY, but I would like to find someone who has a license to work in the entire state of Virginia and North Carolina.

So, what would be the best way for me to find someone with a license in both states AND is experienced working with investors?  Are there any directories that allow filters, as zI am short on time to call everyone from yellow pages to find out.

Yes, it's a bit last minute but I was planning to work wit someone, but he admitted he doesn't really work with the type of deals (fixer-uppers), which I pursue in volume.

Any suggestions for the best way to find a patient and proactive partner in this?

I would advise against one agent in both states. You want people to know their area inside and out. Even in North Carolina alone I would hire a different agent for Charlotte vs. Asheville because I need them to know the short term rental rules, have a team to connect me with, etc and that varies city to city. But yes as Nate has mentioned the agents in the Agent Finder tool would be a great start by market.

Hi @Olga Kostrova,

I can give you a recommendation if you would like. I do not know anyone that works in both NC and VA but I can connect you to one from each.

I also work with a great real estate investment brokerage in Charlotte that works almost exclusively on fixer-uppers. I can get you connected with them as well.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Hey Olga! We work with a large volume of fixer-upper properties in the Charlotte area. I know you are currently looking for representation on your properties, but if you're interested in getting access to more inventory in the Charlotte area we would definitely be able to help you out!

@Olga KostrovaYou are already in the right place to find an investor-friendly agent. Might be better to find an agent licensed in each state if you are tight on time vs looking for an agent licensed in both.

Thank you very much, Mitch Davidson, Andrew Garcia, Tiamo Wright.  YES!   :-)

HI @Olga Kostrova. I agree with @Tiamo Wright. You're going to need a specialist per market. In NC we have many MLS boards, usually comprised of just a few counties. Someone that can help you in my hometown, Asheville, cannot access comps for Charlotte, and likewise won't want to drive over there to see a property for you. Many selling agents counsel their sellers to reject site unseen offers around here. I've actually tried to have one of my agents help me in an adjacent county that isn't part of our MLS. It was such a struggle to get comps from selling agents that I had to find a different agent for that MLS. I'll message you some recommendations on investor focused agents if you like.

Thank you, @Nate Slappey.  Will see...

Licensed in both isnt an issue. But you're also talking about multiple MLS syatems....and realistically....there is no single agent most likely that belongs to every MLS system in VA and NC
