Wholesaler working with Realtor

[Jordan Jarvis]

Hello BP Community,

I am just getting started with Wholesaling and have some questions about the benefits of working with a Realtor. I have been networking to meet other investors and one investment firm in particular sends deals to see if I can find an end buyer. Of course I would get a cut of the profit for bringing in the end buyer. However, my question is what if a Realtor whom I have a good relationship with helps me find the buyer, how does the realtor get paid? Would it be a cut of my earnings that I receive from the investment firm who has the property under contract? This may be a stupid question, but I am just trying to find the best ways to structure deals with the resources that I have.

"If the Realtor helps me find the buyer"

It depends on What you mean by help you? 

Will the Realtor just give you buyer leads? And you contact the buyer or will the Realtor be doing the actual talking to the potential buyer

@Jordan Jarvis If the Realtor is doing the legwork they can act as a Buyers agent thus get commission from they buyer. You get a finders fee from the company for bringing in the Realtor and Buyer. Guess you would have to trust their word.

Good Luck
