Hi Orlando BP community,

I’ve been investing in the Orlando and Ocala area for almost three years. Just passed my real estate sales associate exam and looking into brokerages. I love technology so naturally think eXp would be a great fit. 

I have a pretty lucrative full time job that I'm not ready to leave anytime soon. The reason to get my RE license is similar to many investors: get MLS access, save commissions on my own deals, write offers faster, learn more about the business and make more connections etc. In addition I'm also looking to buy and sell for family and friends, and do referrals for out of state investors since I recently moved from California.

If you’re an agent with eXp in the area, especially with experience working with investors, I’d love to learn from you. I’m not looking to join a team, since I wouldn’t be able to properly leverage the benefits with my limited time commitment at the moment. Just looking for a sponsor who can help me with navigating the brokerage and the local market. 

@Rongsu Qi hey I have a team I’m building globally focused on carving out niche in investing!!!

I have a Facebook group I recently started for my down line.

I have drip campaigns and templates to buyers and sellers guide for my team as plug-in play things to help get you started right away!

Hi. I just was contacted today by this gentleman from EXP. I hope this helps 

@Rongsu Qi Congrats on passing the exam!  I'm like you, part time real estate agent with a full time job, investor for years before that, that got licensed to do more investing but found myself quickly falling in love with ALL aspects of real estate and then suddenly eXp became my path to transitioning to real estate full time.  I'm very passionate about investing but it wasn't going to get me to real estate full time fast enough until I met eXp.  It was sort of by accident - eXp was the only model that worked in my area (Florida Panhandle) as a part timer.  Now that I've seen the opportunities and built my own organization across 11 states in a year and I'm on track to match my full time income as a part timer at eXp, I'm fully in!

Just figured I'd share a little backstory before I say: I've worked with Orlando eXp agents (on investment deals that I've gotten referral checks from) and would be more than happy to put you in touch with a few.  I'm actually down here in Davenport upgrading a Disney AirBnB I own thanks to a partner agent I continue to collaborate with.  

It sounds like you are in the same boat as me: part timer, investor, may transition full time at some point. I'd be happy to share what I've learned if that will help you succeed!  

@Rongsu Qi you need to get in touch with George Philbeck with EXP in Orlando. He THE person in this market that has a fantastic grip on all thing real estate and is very well connected all the way to the top with EXP. Let him know I sent you!

@Valentina Naumenko Thanks!

So inspiring to hear you're on track to match your full time income as a part timer agent. I have a couple of friends in California both turned full-time and partnered up to start their own brokerage a year ago, they're absolutely thriving! They were my inspiration to get into real estate investing and get my own license to begin with. I'm really excited about the possibilities!
