Danke! I have zero connections in NC, but if by chance something emerges, I'll let you know!

Hey Amanda hope your doing well. I invest in a few different states and I'm a realtor in new jersey. If my clients are over the age of 55 there is about a 50% chance they are moving out of state to retire so I am interview other agents pretty much every week. I have found this process eliminates all the bad eggs before you even get to the interview. Step 1 look at the area your interested in and pic the 12 agents try and do 6-8 teams and 4-6 single agents if possible. Pick them based of production there bio back group etc. My personal favorite production level are single agents doing between 18-40 deals a year that have a investment or work a decent amount of investors. step 2 at 9 AM on a weekday send out a text to each of them explaining what your looking to do and asking to set up a time to talk. If they do not respond within a hour they don't get the interview. this will eliminate about half of the 12. step 3 When you ask to set up a time to talk you say you will be the one calling them. When the time for the call comes around you do not call them. If they reach out to you in a timely manor asking about the missed appointment give them a call and congratulate them on passing 90% of the interview. This will almost always take those 12 top producers down to 2-4. Interview these 4 ask questions like what do you do to get listings can I make offers on your up and coming inventor prior to going on market etc. Then just go with the one that feel right. The reason I do this complicated interview process is because you want someone that knows what they are doing. Secondly you want someone that will not ghost you because they are just to busy with easier business. lastly you want someone that acknowledges its there job it stay in contact with you and help you along down the path of purchasing not the other way around. Anyone can answer a question but this pre interview interview shows you if they have these qualities with out even having to ask and they are the most important qualities in my opinion a realtor can have. Then you actually dive into there knowledge of the area investing etc.
