Investor-Friendly Agents

[Jeremiah Damiron]

Hello,

I'm wondering where and how can I have more success on contacting Real Estate Agents, primarily in the Haverhill/ Boston area of Massachusetts, that are investor friendly, are familiar with subject to, and creative investing in general. I went online and made a few calls to some popular and unpopular agents and got some pretty negative results. They had told me that what I was learning did not exist and that I was a dreamer. I was discouraged for a brief moment but quickly I realized they had just been misinformed. Anyways, does anyone know of anyone in the area, or what steps I can take to find these people?

Thank You!

What are you looking for? Are you being realistic? What were your expectations?

I use one of the top agents in my area. She has assisted my family with buying 6 houses in the past 12 months. Without her abilities we would not be where we are today. Se has been a very integral part in helping me locate deals and properties that are undervalue and perfect! Although she find them and I evaluate them. we found her through another friend.

That being said she works with very few investors. Not because she is unwilling but because their expectations are rediculous. I have her name to a fellow investor from BP. He called her asking her to show her 90k properties all weekend but he would not be using her to write a contract.

Good agents aren't going to ruin their reputation (very important in this business) to through hundreds of low ball offers or spend thousands of hours for a 60k property . They earn through commission. I

That's not saying you can't get good deals. You just need to be realistic.

That's just my two sense! I truly believe a good realtor is a very important part of the team! I also feel that more often than not it's the investors unrealistic expectations that cause them not find a realtor to work with not the realtor themselves!
