Isn't it what most realtors do? Just list and wait for offers?

It feels like all them are the same, the only difference between all of them is their communication skills and if he keeps up communication with the interested buyers.

@Eliott Elias no that is what lazy agents do... Like any profession there are good and bad players. That is certainly not what I do. I spend a good amount of time on any listing building anticipation to create either an off market sale opportunity or just build demand to create a bidding war once it hits the market publicly

Good info @Account Closed. 

@Mario Am, MLS listings and syndication to other real estate websites are going to be your biggest drivers of buyer eyes.

However, you could also develop a number of different lists. Unrepresented buyers looking for off market deals or real estate agents that do business in the neighborhood and/or business with buyers looking for renovated homes. Pretty simple to build agent lists using your MLS. For neighborhood lists just pull sold properties in the last two years for the neighborhood your project is in and export the listing and selling agent info to a spreadsheet. Then email those agents letting them know about the project. Same process with agents that tend to sell new construction or newly renovated homes. Pull data for all the agents representing buyers of those types of homes in your city, export and email them to let them know that you have a project coming up.

Do enough of that overtime and you will have a big enough list that you may be able to sell many of your projects before you have even finished them.

Hi BP Fam! I am an experienced Real Estate Agent (8 years) in the DC area and have partnered with a past client to begin flipping homes in the area. We have capital to get skin in the game but our immediate short term goals are: 

1. Find lending partners 

2. Find our first deal - hope to get something under contract in 3-6 months 

Looking forward to interacting with you all in the future!
