How many Realtors should and investor have?

Question

Corbin Marcotte · Answer

As an agent that specializes in working with investors, I personally have multiple agents that know my investment criteria that will bring me deals first because of my established relationship with them. Therefore I believe you should have multiple  agents that know you and have a good relationship with you and be loyal to whoever brings the deal. I have many investors that I have worked with and I know that if another agent brings them something good then they are going to do the right thing and have that agent compensated. This will turn many agents off from wanting to work with you. Those are probably agents that you don't want to work with anyway. In Rich Dad Poor Dad it says something like, there are 1 in 1000 agents that are investors themselves and they are probably the ones you want to work with.

@Corbin Marcotte Thank you for your response.

I will definitely consider this approach, and I agree building relationships is really important to build trust and loyalty. It's been a while since I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad, but I like that reference of 1 in 1000 agents. Good stuff, much appreciated!

@Scott England That's exactly what I don't want to do, I don't want to waste someone else's time as well as mine. Looking for good deals in SA, TX is starting to seem pretty slim, but I may just have to get a little more creative on direct mail and go door to door.
