Agents Connecting with Real Investors – What’s Working for You?

[Tanya McDonald]

Hey y’all — curious to hear your take on this.

I’m an agent out here in Southern California (LA/OC markets) and have been focused on working with real estate investors, especially those looking for off-market or value-add properties.

Lately, I’ve been hitting up local meetups and Facebook groups trying to build solid connections — but most of the people I run into are either wholesalers or other agents doing the same thing. I get that it’s a numbers game, and I’m not afraid of putting in the work, but I’d love to hear from this community…

What’s actually worked for you (as an agent or investor) to build real relationships with active buyers or investors?

Are there platforms, strategies, or events that have helped you cut through the noise and connect with serious folks who are actually doing deals?

Would appreciate any insight — trying to sharpen how I spend my time and energy out here.

Thanks in advance!
