Do investor agents focus more on investing or on the consumer end?
I have just gotten my license and have chosen a broker. Well my broker has been in the business for 15 years and is an investor as well, however it seems that because her company is more of a high end brokerage, that she really wants me to focus more on the agent side rather than the investor side. She knows that my goal is to be an active investor, but when I told her I wanted to work with investors to network for my own business and possibly turn a profit as an agent, she said," I was wasting my time because many investors just end up shutting out the buyers agent and go straight to the listing agent, and that she wouldn't want to see me possibly make $100k in real estate but miss out because I focused on investors."
I am unsure what to think about this because I would like to work with investors to grow my business and think that she wants me to focus more on being a full time agent rather than a full time investor. I am interested in hearing some feedback and knowing how many investor agents focus more on working with consumers as opposed to investors and how it has helped their business and their knowledge of real estate.
