    I've personally invested in Real Estate for over 25 years and have mentored, coached & consulted with dozens of new & seasoned investors during that time. I understand the value of & how critical it is to have someone come along side you to assist in getting started as well as continuing with you to build your own personal Real Estate empire. I have an extensive network of tradespeople, lenders, 1031 custodians, title, insurance, etc. that i'm happy to share to make the most of your Real Estate investing future! Over the years, I've been involved in numerous aspects of real estate including: -building spec and custom homes -rehabbing (flipping) -buy and hold SFHs & Multi-Unit (rentals) -financing (owner-financing, land contracts, lease option/purchases, rent to own, etc) -1031 exchanges -tax-lien properties -bank owned properties -short sales, wholesaling -investing using self-directed IRAs -land/lot subdivision -mobile homes and mobile home communities -Trustee Sale properties (foreclosures at the courthouse steps). Here's what a few of my clients have to say: - "John is very intuitive on market conditions and shares his knowledge. He provides statistics and data to make informed decisions. He is a good listener and communicator. He did a great job representing us as sellers and negotiated the best offer. As investors we feel fortunate to have John on our team!" - Deb, Harrison TN - "In addition to being a man of exemplary integrity, John is very knowledgeable about real estate. Coming from a family of home builders, he understands construction and offered valuable insight into a property I purchased last year. John was able to point out potential problems to be corrected before I actually made the purchase. I would highly recommend him as an agent!" - Bobbie, Chattanooga TN - "John is a highly skilled negotiator with many years of real estate experience. He works hard and has great insight. Since he has years of doing rehabs and rentals himself, so he can offer great perspective to a buyer or seller when looking at a property." -Shane, Chattanooga TN

What do Chattanooga agents specialize in?

The 2 agents listed here specialize in fix & flip, land, mobile home parks, multi-family (2-4 units), multi-family (5+ units), primary residence, and single-family rental.

Do these agents cover Cleveland, Dunlap, and Hixson too?

Yes.

If your search is really greater Chattanooga rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.

How should I choose between them?

Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in Hamilton County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

An investor-friendly real estate agent represents buyers who purchase property to rent, renovate, or resell rather than to live in. They can price a property against rent comps and renovation costs, not just against nearby sales, and they are used to offers written for speed and inspection terms an owner-occupant would not accept. Many are investors themselves.
