This could also vary as well.You could have buyer brokers that do volume with investors and the investors makes up the half of a percent with them on each purchase or the broker does so many deals a year the don't care about the 1/2 a percent.You could have a buyers agent that has worked with the buyers so long that they don't care anymore they just want to close something.Me being a broker and managing agents I can tell you the majority of the agents working with buyers are new to the business (at least in my area).They might on average do 2 to 3 deals from their sphere before they run out of leads and closings.To those buyers agents money is on the mind and the more they make the better on each deal.If money simply wasn't an issue bonuses,higher co-ops wouldn't exist to sell property faster.Ibrahim will just have to test and track and see what works in his local market.

But there there are some hoops to jump through to qualify for the tax benefits of the OZ.

@Austin Smith I think the key is to consistently market to your sphere of influence.  

If the goal is buyers, Open houses, your sphere, and forums like this are key. 

Account Closed 41% of your clients will be referrals from your sphere of influence, friends, family, coworkers, etc. so really focusing in on that and farming it and reminding those people you are in the business will probably be your greatest marketing tool especially for a part time agent.

Are these you personal sphere of influence?

Start out doing exactly what you're doing here, let everyone know about this next step and give your friends/family/sphere a chance to support you in your new career.

Not to double kick this thing, but most new agents rely on their sphere of influence for their first 6-12 months, friends, family, etc.  

Also work your sphere of influence.  

@Alan Feldman To clarify, you have 180 days to roll over your capital gain into an OZ Fund.
