Investor friendly relator question?

[Dave Edwards]

Hi all - thanks in advance for any insights you all might offer. My question is about Investor friendly agents. Can anyone elaborate on what actually makes an agent REI friendly?

• Knowing the areas
• having knowledge of specific properties
• understanding if a deal is a "deal"
• flexible on commissions?  

I would love to hear your opinions..

@Dave Edwards as a REI realtor, understanding the investment process I believe is key. having investment property is also key. I ask many new investors that have a real estate friend or contact. Ask that agent how many investment deals they've been through. many times it's "Zero", so how is that agent supposed to guide someone through the investment process if they themselves have not been through it. I have flipped many homes since 2006 and currently have 73 rental units. So I feel I have certain experience that is beneficial to my clients. Some agree and some do not. I just think it's hard to explain to my client something I've never done and explain it with some experience. So you have to know where to get your resources if you have no experience.

Happy Investing 2017
