Being the Best Investor-Friendly Agent

[Nicolas Jefferson]

This is a question for all the real estate investors on the forums, would you mind helping a new agent out?

No, no. I don't want your business, I want your advice (which is just as valuable!)

I just recently started my career path of being a real estate agent, and I really wanted to focus my attention towards real estate investors for a couple reasons...

1) I want to invest someday, so it would be a great way to make connections.

2) Repeat business is key in the industry.

However, I want to know what investors are looking for. I've read Brandon Turner's "The Real Estate Agent's Ultimate Guide to Working with Investors" and that gave me some great ideas. But I want to hear from individuals on the forum as well.

What are you looking for in an agent? What qualities?

My main proposition to investors on why "I'm the man" is that real estate is my life. I'll be on call 24/7, always there for you, no beating around the bush - it's time for business mentality. But who knows? That might be the wrong way to look at it.

Thanks!

Learn learn learn. Get to know everything there is on the type of investing your clients do. I am a licensed agent that focuses on investing myself so when I am approached by an agent who says they are investor friendly but don't understand the basics of what I do I don't work with them. Your time is valuable and being available to obtain information when needed does help. Look for deals that are not on market that can add value to your clients portfolio. Also get to know the area your clients/investors work very well. Another thing is to connect your clients with top notch professionals in the industry like title, escrow, attorneys that can add value to there business. Good luck!!
