Advice Needed For My First Deal

[Peter Gallagher]

Hello everyone,

I need some help on my first deal. A few days ago a Realtor who I had met a few weeks prior sent me specifics on a house in the area. I posted the specs on craigslist and found an investor who called himself a specialist in the area.

I sent him the pics that the Realtor had given me, and facilitated the meetup between the two at the property. He said he really liked the character of the house, had plans on setting a record sales for the area, and was going to contact us in a few days with his numbers.

My question is, I know that I have to gain this house under contract, but how do I go about this. Should I ask my Realtor for the sellers or sellers agent contact info? Or, do I hand my contract to my Realtor and have him get it signed for me?

Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated! I just stumbled across this website a few hours ago and it seems great! I appreciate the help!
