I apologize if one of my associates turned you off or alarmed you about working with our company in any way. Please allow me to clarify why we like to meet our investors face to face prior to adding them to our distribution list.
I agree with you in the fact that "explain how our contracts work" was a poor choice of words because in no way are we trying to offer you any sort of legal advice or council. Our deals are quality with plenty of profit for investors so they typically sell within 24-48 hours of being released. The last few deals we released here in ATL has sold in less than 4 hours. The way we structure our deals is standard across the board and certain aspects are fairly specific (who pays closing costs, due diligence periods, closing attorneys we use, what we require from you to consider the property sold, etc). We believe in full disclosure so we choose to explain this all up front so their are no surprises. That way, when a deal does come across that fits your criteria, you are able to make a decision in a timely manner as you already know what to expect at the closing table. We even provide a copy of the contract we use during the meeting so that you can take it back to your attorney for review and get back to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding them.
The second, and most important reason I choose to meet with investors is simply this: we value our relationships. We put a priority on building a relationship with a client/investor above that of just making a sale. I learned very early on in my career that my success directly correlates to the success of my investors and try to do everything in my power to make sure my clients are satisfied (the amount of repeat business and referrals I receive is evidence of that). It's impossible to do this without sitting down to listen to my investors and understand their needs, investment strategy, preferred pricepoints/areas and limitations. During the meeting I also open it up to the investor to ask any questions about myself or the company because any real investor should have the desire to qualify the person they are working with. On top of all this, it just feels right to be able to meet face to face with the person you are dealing with and shake hands. I guess i'm kind of old school and prefer to build relationships on something more substantial than a text message or email.
If you're looking for someone to just get your email address and send you a bunch of crap that doesn't make sense to you (or any investor for that matter) that is not us. But if you are looking to work directly with someone who understands your needs, thinks of you as soon as we come across something that might work for you, and picks up the phone and calls you... that is where we come in.
If you are still open to the opportunity of working with us and seeing what we have to offer, please let me know. I can provide you with my personal referrals (a few of which are BP members) or put you in touch with someone in your respective market who can do the same.
SHORT VERSION: poor choice of words, sorry for the mix-up. I like to make sure my investors are not aliens/robots before I meet them at a property.
We believe in doing one thing and doing it very well, playing lawyer is definitely not it.
