We dominate investor + agent keywords on Google.This is on the paid and SEO side combined too.I saw the data, THOUSANDS of investors every monthsearch keywords like "investor friendly agent" and othersall over the country and we at BiggerPockets show up atthe top every time.I just can't imagine a Real Estate Agent not taking advantage of this.All it takes is a message to me here on BP to learn howto get repeat business like Craig Curelop, and many others have.Just Google Craig's name, he even wrote a book for us.That's how powerful leveraging our platform is.Not only do you get solid buyer clients to work with,it expands your network 100x.Cheers!
