Hey All!
We've been marketing in Spanish speaking areas and have had a great response rate and are able to take down some deals but curious on thoughts of bringing in someone who speaks it fluently as a percentage partner?
I'm a way's out from speaking it well so hoping to find a solution for the short term.
@Jacob Whitbeck Éste es una buena pregunta. Creo que la respuesta depende de sus metas. Si usted quiere crear un negocio grande, y quiere tener un compañero de trabajo para ayudarle con este negocio, yo diría que sí. Busque a alguien que habla español. Si quiere que su negocio sea pequeño, entonces no importa mucho tener alguien que habla Español.
Hello Jacob. From my experience investing in a majority Spanish-speaking market in South Texas, I believe bringing in someone fluent in Spanish is great asset. If the person is also culturally aware and competent i think you´ll knock it out the park. The U.S.-latin americans are as loyal of a group as you can find. This said, please listen to the advice of Charlie MacPherson; seems to me you could get through this hurdle by paying someone on a fee basis. Best wishes on your real estate journey and God bless!
Thank you all for your advise! I will be looking at a translator that we can use but was really wanting to structure a person that could handle those calls when they come in so it would have to be a person who can take on that role.
