Agents and wholesalers?

[Rakan Abuzahra]

How can realtors and wholesalers work together? What value can I as an agent provide to a wholesaler? I have a client who is new to real estate investing. He is currently wholesaling to start building capital to do some of his own investments. Obviously we'll be invaluable with his own investments, but I'm just wondering how I can help him get to that point and what I can offer in the meantime? I work my *** off for my clients and I'd love to help him grow his business, but I'm just confused about how this could all fit together.

@Rakan AbuzahraYou sound like a very hard working agent that would go extra lengths for his clients and partners. Great quality to have on an investing team. 

Agents are valuable to wholesalers by providing comps, by them having access to you for the MLS, running recent sales in the area, rent rates, make offers on properties, networking, etc.

In return, a wholesaler provides leads to you of people do not want to sell right away, or are looking for an agent to sell the traditional way. Creating a win-win for all parties at hand. 

To me a true wholesaler provides solutions that almost always create a win-win solution for everyone involved and having everyone with a smile on their face at the end of the day. 

Good Luck!
