How to Be the Best Possible Agent for an Investor
I am an investor, property manager, and realtor specializing in investments. I have been given the opportunity to start an Investor division at my Brokerage.
Our goal is to create a team of highly skilled agents who excel in understanding and meeting the unique needs of investors. I will be personally training, teaching, and approving agents for this investor team.
I would love to hear your thoughts and advice on what makes the best possible agent for an investor. Specifically, I'm interested in:
Essential Skills and Knowledge: What specific skills and knowledge should an agent possess to serve investors effectively?
Communication and Negotiation: What are the best practices for communication and negotiation when dealing with investment properties?
Market Analysis and Property Valuation: How can agents go above and beyond in providing market analysis and property valuations tailored to investors' needs?
Networking and Resources: What are the key resources and networks that an agent should leverage to benefit their investor clients?
Client Relationship Management: How can agents build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with investor clients?
Exceeding Industry Standards: What steps can we take to ensure our services consistently exceed the industry standard for investor agents?
Since I was an investor before I was an agent, I know what I was always looking for out of an agent, but I would love to hear the insights you guys have. I would love to train agents to serve best any investor who wants to invest in North Central WV!
Thank you in advance for your contributions. I look forward to your valuable insights and suggestions!
P.S. Feel free to DM me your suggestions or to connect!
Thank you,
JonPaul Kessinger
