Investor friendly Real Estate Agen in the San Antonio Area

[Armando Chavez]

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend me an investor-friendly Real Estate Agent in the San Antonio, New Braunfels, San Marcos area?  Thank you for your time!

I would second @Martin Scherer . 

We work with a lot of investors in our brokerage, but the successful investors we work with know what they are looking for and we help facilitate their transactions.  Any good investment agent is likely too busy to hand hold you through the entire process.
There are really three main ways of finding deals, off-market through wholesalers, off-market through your own marketing, and working deals on MLS.

I can't speak to what "real-estate investor agents" at other brokerages do, but I can give you a little insight as to how we work.

Screening off-market wholesale deals: Wholesalers send you deals and present every deal like it is a sure winner. We can give you a second opinion on ARV and rehab costs so you can run the most accurate numbers possible.

Motivated Sellers:  Many people get a motivated seller and don't know where to start.  We'll help you out making sure you're off-market deal makes sense and make sure you buy it right.

MLS Houses: If there is a house on MLS that interests you, we'll show it and submit an offer. We negotiate MLS deals often, so I'd like to think we are a little better on the negotiating side than most agents. People talk bad about the MLS, but there are deals to be had. You just need to have someone that knows how to talk to listing agents and recognize opportunities.

Again, I'm not sure what other agents advertise for services, but these are things we do and what I would look for in an agent.
