Looking for Agents who specialize in Investment Properites

[James Harris]

Hello Everyone, 

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I am posting here in search of forming long lasting relationships with agents who consistently acquire solid investment deals. I am currently working with a team purchasing multiple properties a month, and we are looking for as many deals as possible in the upcoming year. I look forward to connecting with anyone who has loft goals for the upcoming year, and any agent looking to further expand their network. Let's build for the future!

 Ummm...what?!  No, sir.  I will have to respectfully disagree.

I am a Realtor going on 21 years now.  Licensed in both AZ and in CA from 2004-2008.  I represent all kinds of investors, and am experienced at finding deals....and No, I do not take the deals for myself.  Most of the time, my RE investing goals are different from the investor that I am working with, whether it be different types of projects, locations, price point, etc...The list goes on.  So, there is not conflict there.

I am also an investor. I have been a landlord since 2002, and own a diverse portfolio of properties. I have also gone to Trustee sale, purchased HUD homes, completed Flips, and much more. So I am capable of evaluating deals, factoring cap rates and cash on cash returns, analyzing deals and so forth as many investors come in with money, but no real clue about what they are doing and what they are looking for. Where do you think they learn that?

I have worked with out of state investors, as well as Canadian investors.  I have helped numerous people think outside the box in order to provide an opportunity for them to enter the RE investing world.

I understand that Realtors can get a bad wrap for certain things.  There are many that aren't qualified to do what they are licensed for.  I have found that many of those types of Realtors either don't hold the title Realtor, or are gone within a few years of being licensed.  Those of us tried and true Realtors who stand the test of time, through market and economy waves, commission reduction trends, and clients who betray....well, these people deserve your respect.  They have earned it.
