Soon to be RE Agent w. a Question & Scenerio
Hello everyone. My name is Ashley, I'm about to start my pre-licensure class to become an agent. I know I'm going to have some questions along the way and I'm hoping I can get a few answered here.
My 1st big question is this:
I know its possible to work exclusively with investors; but is this scenerio possible?
A couple comes to me wanting to sell their house fast. I agree to put it on the MLS after marketing it to my buyers list of inverstors first.
^ could I do that?
They say you can do anything if a contrast is written properly... but I'm wondering if that would be a realistic scenerio.
Any advice, tips, or insight you can offer would be gladly appreciated.

Yes you can as long as they agree with you. The point is you're supposed to look out for your client's best interest, and you should present them with all options (MLS is one them, of course). Our state's listing agreement has a specific clause that says we'll list the property with X number of hours, and as long as the client agrees with you on what X is, you're fine. You just need to inform them of all the practices that you plan to engage in in regard to their property. You're supposed to present all offers to your client (through MLS or not). You can advise them but leave the ultimate decision for them to make.
They will grill these concepts into your brain when you take the licensing courses :-).
Having fun sitting through those exciting (not) hours :-).
