Real Estate Without Limits

Before the internet, cell phones, or the MLS, real estate was largely practiced in a central office full of agents sharing paper copies of listings. Prospective buyers, with no place to find homes for sale other than by sitting with an agent and viewing the "Listing Book", happily drove to their local real estate office when they were ready to buy.

Times have changed, of course, but a large part of the real estate industry has not changed with it. Married to this office culture, brokers still use large elaborate office space to conduct very traditional real estate business.

A new breed of real estate professionals has pushed back against this tired old way of doing real estate. The unlicensed real estate investor has been at the forefront of adopting rapid fire responses driven by technology, and has met seller needs faster and better than traditional real estate offices.

Armed with creative tools for buying and selling houses, they have been able to capture income and market share. Today 3% of Americans consider themselves real estate investors.

Today real estate investors and their creative strategies for buying houses seem almost at war with the licensed agent practicing more traditional real estate.

The investor, though, is limited to helping property owners with equity, or willing to do a more creative sale, such as keeping their financing in place (also known as purchasing "sub to").

The traditional licensed agent is limited by only being able to represent the homeowner in a traditional sale, but they far too often miss more lucrative opportunities to buy or wholesale and pass up on listings they consider too "ugly".

Real Estate without limits is the marriage of these two worlds into one powerful super professional.

Our philosophy is aimed at breaking down the old tired way of doing traditional real estate. We want to release the professional from the big office and gold jackets. Technology-driven and adaptive to the new creative techniques in real estate, we are encouraging the investor to get licensed and the licensed agent to become an investor.

By melding the two worlds, you have so much more to offer the homeowner, you always have a solution and can turn more leads into more money!

That truly is real estate without limits.

  1. Thank you, Ronnie... I love the husband/wife investor/realtor teams.... I'm in one myself!

    We are going to be in Houston on the 19th to talk about just that.  We are hosting a small luncheon to talk about how the investor/agent or investor/agent team is the most powerful combo and how you can leverage that to get a competitive edge.

    We'll also talk about our brokerage... its made for people like you and your wife.... but don't worry, not a heavy sales pitch... just a lot of good useful information you can use when your wife is licensed.

    I'll send you a connection request so I can get you the details about our lunch (free!).  


  2. Great post, my wife is currently reading all the necessary material to get her license. We live here in Spring, Texas just north of Houston and we invest locally. We currently own six single family homes which we rent out and generate $3,500/mos of cash flow. We also flip and wholesale depending on our financial situation at the time. I would like to talk to you about how we can use my wife license to help us grow the business.
