@Farakh Zaman I'm doing a deal now with @Dwayne Byrd. He's a great agent and can definitely help you.

I agree with Patrick Britton you'll likely get much more out of personal swag. Car magnets can come off a bit cheesy. I'm an advocate about exuding a successful appearance and backing up the appearance by being an exceptional realtor/adding value to your clients

Welcome to BP. I'm also in the Brevard County area. I'm a real estate broker and we also do a mix of flips buy-and-hold. Feel free to reach out if I can help you in anyway

Jonathan Schneider this is all great advice. A couple questions I would ask is why do you want to work with other investors? If you want to flip houses yourself, can you really add value for an investor or should you focus on getting that deal for yourself? I find that being a flipper and investor gives my retail buyers and sellers confidence. A few higher end buyer and seller transactions may make you more money than dealing with investors and also leave you more time for focusing on your own deals. Just food for thought

I'm a real estate broker/investor, and I like to flip houses. I have a mix of business: retail buyers and sellers, a couple other investors that I work with along with selling my own flips. If I were trying to target more flippers to get their listings, I would look at past sales in your area to identify flips. Then I would look for the listings that were not presented well( poor pictures, no staging, unstylish upgrades). Reach out to these investors and show them how you can increase their sales price with design ideas and proper presentation. In my market this is the biggest deficiency with investors..not connecting or exciting buyers. I hope this helps you.

@Jim Lunger - I have a differing opinion about big chains. The big chain brokerages have a compelling pitch, with big promises and lots of agents drink the "kool aid".I know agents who work for boutique firms, 100% comission companies or who own their own small brokerages that are every bit as successful as agents working for a big chain. In my area, many of the most productive agents do not work for the big chains.  I have nothing against big chains but they are absolutely not vital to your success and many times your net income is much less. With the comission split, monthly fees, processing fees and franchise fees, new agents can net less than 50% of their comissions.

Since you're a new agent, I would interview at the big chains as well as look for some smaller successful brokerages. See what feels the best and give it a try. You can always switch to another brokerage once you gain experience and find your niche.

@Account Closed Welcome to BP! If you haven't discovered them yet the BP podcasts are great. I highly recommend them.
