Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a Real Estate Broker with solid experience working with investors, and who has the desire to continue working with investors.  I've been working with two Brokers thus far, but neither has much experience with investors and I think it's (one of a few things) hindering my success.  I'm not passing blame - it just is what it is and I need to rectify this issue with my business.  People who don't invest or work with investors don't know what we need from them, and they sometimes are too busy with other "normal" clients to tend to an offer or researching properties that may never produce a dime for them.

So...if you have a referral or you're the Broker I'm looking for, let me know!
Thanks in advance -

@Account Closed Are you a CIREIA Member?  There are several wholesalers in our group that I'm sure would be happy to help teach you the ropes, if you can figure out a way to give back to them.

Just my two cents.  I'm still new too, just looking to help out.  CIREIA has been a big help to me thus far.  I highly recommend getting yourself a membership if you haven't already.

@Jim McCabe

You might give Sherry Borshoff at Borshoff Consulting, LLC in Carmel a call. She's a member of CIREIA and may be able to help you out.

@Evan Manship

Thanks!  Yep, I'm currently planning to work with Pete Rath at NBA Builders and Cornerstone Investments.  I met Pete at the CIREIA meeting in February and we've been talking since then.

@Clay Manship

Thank you!  I've been studying that entire area at large since I looked at the property you had for wholesale down on 25th St; I really wanted that house, but I was concerned about that ugly white building across from it.  I tried to reach the owner to see what his plans were with it or if he'd sell it, but I got no response.  So...I hated to have to pass on that but it didn't feel right.  I bet somebody will make that home incredible.  

I'm glad to hear that my intuition on the desired product over in Springdale was spot on!  I feel like a lot of that neighborhood is still kind of rough, but the progress of the revitalization should catch up there soon.  We were thinking the same thing, 3/2/1500 with a 2 car detached garage, privacy fence, and about $185-$200k. 

I'd love to get into something over in Fall Creek also but it's hard to find a deal over there (as I'm sure you know).  I have several homes that I want to mail to, but I feel like the owners' mail boxes are probably already crammed full of investors' direct mailings.  Guess I'll get started in Springdale and then see what we can get elsewhere in the downtown area.  Those old historic houses look so cool, I can't wait to be able to bring one to life!
