Speaking with Agents

[Luke McCann]

BP,

I am a student and looking to get into wholesaling. I will be doing my first house hack next year with the help of my father (also a real estate investor) near my college campus in St. Augustine, FL. In the mean time, I would like to talk to an agents opinion about a particular neighborhood I am interested in wholesaling. Should I tell the agent up front I am an aspiring wholesaler? Or just mention my plans for a buy and hold next year? I would imagine that most agents don't appreciate what wholesalers do.

Thanks all

-Luke

On the flip side, I'd say YES!!!  The conversation could go something like this...

Hi Miss Agent, I'm a Wholesaler and was wondering if we could figure out a way to work together.  I do a lot of Marketing, but don't always get a contract on every opportunity.  What if I were to refer those interested in selling their homes, but the numbers don't work for Wholesaling.  Would increasing your number of listings be of interest to you.
