Virtual Real Estate Agent

[Timothy Douglas]

Hey Guys! I'm a college student right now and graduating in May. When I move, I will be coming to Texas to be a Real Estate Agent. I decided to get my license early and will have it before May comes. How should I go about closing deals virtually from NC? I will need to have income coming in to prepare to move into Austin and was wondering what virtual work as an agent could look like. I haven't thought of one thing I can't do virtually and was wondering if I was missing anything. Thanks for the Help!

You can do it virtually.  Not 100% easy, but you can.  Not everyone will be on board with that.  You just have to find the right people that are on board.  Right now though you have lots of out of state owners buying and selling, so you may never need to see them.

If you list property, how do you show it?

How do you allow unlicensed people in the property when needed?  Let's say you're working with an out of state investor who wants to sell a vacant property and you need to allow stagers into the property?

How do you accurately price a property you haven't seen for a buyer or a seller?  I've seen a lot of properties that look perfect in the pictures and are trash when you see in person, and the opposite is true too.  Sometimes the pictures are trash, but you go in person and it looks great.
