Wholesaling on market as a realtor

[Alex Sanchez]

Hi so I’m a new realtor, also looking to do wholesale deals and want to start with on market properties as I know they want to sell. My question is would it be better to have the listing agent represent me even tho I’m a realtor as maybe they’d be willing to work more with me and possibly get the property at a lower price since they get the full commission?

Alex, this can get very messy very fast. I would highly recommend taking your license and going to work for a wholesale brokerage. That way you are protected and get to learn the process from the inside out.On top of that you are surrounded by a TEAM to help you and answer your questions. Let's be real as new agents there is so much more we dont know than what we do know. Better to be surrounded by experinced agents doing what you are striving for than struggling trying to balance all of the license laws.  Once you have built a solid understanding, know how to wholesale, and have multiple deals under your belt then branch off and do your own thing.
