Why shoulld you use a RE Agent that is also an investor?

Using a real estate agent who is also an investor can offer several advantages. Here are a few reasons why:

  1. Experience: A real estate agent who is also an investor likely has a deeper understanding of the real estate market and the buying and selling process than an agent who doesn't invest. They have firsthand experience of what it's like to search for, purchase, manage, and sell a property, which can translate into more insightful and valuable advice for you.
  2. Access to deals: Because they're investors themselves, these agents have a better chance of knowing about deals and opportunities that are not publicly available or not yet listed. They may have access to off-market properties or distressed properties that could be a good fit for your investment goals.
  3. Investment insights: Real estate agents who are investors often have a keen eye for properties that have the potential to generate strong returns on investment. They can provide you with valuable insights on how to maximize your investment, such as suggesting renovations or highlighting neighborhoods that are up and coming.
  4. Time-saving: As investors, these agents understand the importance of time and efficiency. They can help you streamline the buying or selling process, from finding properties to negotiating deals, which can save you time and effort.
  5. Networking: Real estate agents who invest often have a wider network of contacts in the industry, such as contractors, lenders, and property managers, which can be beneficial when buying or selling a property.

Overall, using a real estate agent who is also an investor can provide you with a unique perspective, expertise, and access to resources that can help you achieve your investment goals.
