Not Getting Address From Realtor

Alvin Grier
  • Detroit, MI
Posted

First and foremost, I'll preface this by saying that my current niche is wholesaling residential properties, and that I don't have much experience working with realtors/agents.

Anyways, I'm in the beginning stages of building a relationship with a realtor, and they let me know that they know about an apartment building that they are trying to help someone sell without listing it.

Being that we know a few people that buy and hold commercial properties, we asked them to go ahead and give us some particulars on the property, so that we can mention it to the investors in our network; for all I know, we could possibly wholesale this property to an investor.

Well anyways, they gave us some very generic info on the property (number of units, etc.), and wouldn't give the address of the property, nor would they even tell us which part of town it sits in.

They said that they'd only give that information if we were interested in seeing the property.

My thing is, how would we know if we (or our prospective buyer(s) would want to view the property, unless we had enough information to become officially interested?

Is this normal?

Can someone possibly explain the realtor's rationale behind taking such a stance? From my perspective, it doesn't make much sense.

Thanks
