How to convince a real estate agent?

[Julius Robinson]

Hey I’m looking to enter the Tampa, FL market as an wholesaler. I’ve contacted this real estate agent about her help with sending me fixer uppers off the mls for me to wholesale and she will benifit as the sellers agent. When I presented the offer she was being skeptical as if it’s not beneficial for her or if it’s possible even though she say she has heard of wholesaling. How do I convince her to help me so I can help her?

@Julius Robinson odds are she has never worked with a flipper and she probably doesn't have a lot of experience working with real estate investors. You need to find an agent that understands the business.

I would also recommend you not involve a real estate agent. They need to earn a commission. You would want your wholesaler fee, the agent wants their commission, and the buyer wants below market. You're going to have thin margins if everyone is taking a cut. I recommend finding an investor group and working for investors directly.
