Well said Gilbert. I was once a newbie and now consider myself seasoned having worked over a couple hundred transactions and counting. There is a lot to learn. Reality is wholesalers aren't going anywhere. It's a fun business. So is rehabbing. So is buy and hold. So is really a lot of real estate niches.
When quality people work together with integrity, good things happen. It's really as simple as that. And while a realtor maybe could get more money for that house than the wholesaler, I have also seen this flipped where the wholesaler got the deal moved where as the realtor couldn't. Sometimes Sellers don't like the way agents present themselves and let's face it, we can argue yay or nay but it's up to the Seller to decide what they want whether wholesaler or agent. Some of them have very strong opinions, let's not forget that. Just had a call today from a lady who's agent couldn't get the deal done so perhaps we can. My point is there is quality and not so quality people in every real estate niche. Work the quality people with integrity and the method will take care of itself. This has been my experience quite consistently.
One of my favorite things to do is when we have the wholesale meetup that I run is we get to share quality information with the group, whether other wholesalers or Buyers since we get both. We get newbies and seasoned. We have had people do deals together. And we have had plenty of people come back because they are better investors from getting quality knowledge. Bigger pockets to me is online version of what we've been doing in person.
Let's support each niche because whether agree with them/like them or not, they all add value to someone and that is proven every day. Let's celebrate that and keep growing together.
