Hey BP, tough convo needed with realtor, advice?

[Cory Lucas]

So I’ve been working with a realtor for the past few months that I know from childhood. He’s a great realtor in my opinion, I’ve watched him grow into what he’s built and it’s impressive, I’d say he’s in that 20% category of realtors that make most of the sales.

My question to you all is I want to get my name out there to as many people as possible, including other realtors especially ones I know personally, yet be ethical and not disloyal to him, especially considering how helpful he’s been.

So is there a good way to have that conversation? I’m coming at this angle from the Grant Cardone perspective of having as many people out there know what I’m doing as possible. Also this realtor is pretty well known so I know he has other investors to reach out to as well.

Feeling stuck on this one as to which way to go. Thanks in advance for reading and the reply

I don't understand this at all. Your realtor is a friend and he does a great job. Why do you need to network with other realtors as an investor? 99 percent of the realtors in every don't know anything about investing and will never have access to off-market deals or know what do with them. If this agent gets you into properties and does his job and is well respected, it sounds like you have a key part of your team. I don't know what you think other agents can do for you other than cause a problem. If you came to me and said you were going to talk to other realtors following Grant Cardone principles, honestly I would drop you. I don't compete for business. Business comes to me and it seems the same for him. Stick with what works, not Grant Cardone.
