WHY WORK WITH AN INVESTOR AGENT?

Not all agents work with investors, and this is because you need a different mindset and understanding of real estate investing. An investor needs someone who can look out for them as they are running a business. Most agents do not comprehend the ins and outs of strategies for a successful purchase.

Here are some advantages when working with an investor agent.

HELP YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS:

Most of these agents are investors themself which is an advantage because the agent will speak from personal and work experience as they guide you through the process. Agents are also goal focus, meaning they will advise depending on an investor's goals they are trying to reach. This step is necessary, as not all properties will fit all real estate strategies. Lastly, the agents already have a solid network, not only through their agent side but as an investor, so if you need a contractor, they will be able to set you with the right people.

THEY KNOW THE MARKET:

Every investor knows that location is key to a successful investment. Therefore an investor will only buy a property if returns are profitable, so have an investor agent navigate the current market will make the process faster and smoother. Investor agents are highly knowledgeable on trends like Rentals, future development, occupancy rate, and interest rate. This valuable information and gives investors insights on where or not to buy.

CORE VALUES:

As mentioned before, you need a different mindset when being an investor. Why? Because you are running a business. This may be something most agents may not comprehend or lack the knowledge of how the numbers work, but an investor agent will help you protect your deal when making an offer. As they too look for creative ways to help their clients prosper. These types of agents are honest and upfront when working together. Client's priorities become the agent priorities that will ultimately boost your business.

SUMMARY:

Working with an investor agent holds many benefits as they already have the same mindset you do. They will also tailor the process depending on their clients' goals. Point them to the right market and helps clients with any networking recommendation as needed. An investor agent is like a free mentor, especially for those beginning their real estate journey. Take advantage of their knowledge when looking for your next investment property.
