The Role of a Realtor in a Wholesale Deal

Nancy Eardley

Posted

Hi Folks ~ Newbie here,

I'm wondering how a real estate agent factors into a Wholesale deal. As I read different subjects, they say that a realtor can provide MLS information on cash buyers, areas, etc. I can't imagine they would do this out of the goodness of their hearts, so there must be something in it for them. Is there a "normal" procedure I don't know about? If so, how does it work? How does their commission get paid?

Thanks for any and all input!

Nancy.

@Nancy Eardley hello Nancy. A realtor is good for clooecting data for comps. You can write your own offer, contract, closing docs and have an attorney review everthing. They get a contact of of providing information to you and the hopes you will bring them deals to list. But no there are not going to waste time if there is not something in it for them.
