Why Realtors Should Work with Investors

Capitalize on an Underserved $300 Billion Market

As the nation continues to take its proverbial medicine for the spoils of Wall Street’s residential real estate backed securities fiasco, Realtors are suffering massive drops in transactions and income. If you are working the traditional residential market, you’re likely facing pretty grim volume now, and for the near future.  How about this for a change?

Stop Sucking Wind

Stop Sucking Wind

  • STOP wasting your time working evenings and weekends with “liar buyers” who drag you to see hundreds of houses and never make a decision.
  • STOP listing over-priced properties that never sell or taking on Short Sales that require hundreds of hours of negotiations.
  • STOP begging your friends and family for their real estate transactions and ruining relationships over business.
  • STOP expensive and time consuming prospecting and holding lonely Open Houses.
  • STOP working with clients that are barely qualified for loans and hoping the deals close to get paid.

Yes, you really can STOP all this nonsense by learning a few new skills and making a simple change in the type of client you work with.  In a down market, residential real estate investors are very active buyers (and sellers too).

Investors are desperately seeking good real estate agents who specialize in investments.

I know, you don’t work with investors because they make low ball offers, use your knowledge, experience and tools and then burned you for the commission.  Right?  Has this really happened to you or have you just heard about them happening to other agents?  Agents who suffer these set backs have not learned to find “real” real estate investors.  It is not hard to find them!  Investors are everywhere, and this $300 billion market segment is extremely under served.   Since your colleagues don’t want to work with them, you will get multiple, consistent referrals right from within your own office!

How would you like to have your best volume year ever this year while your colleagues fight over the few good listings available and cut their commissions to get them?

  • Learn how to dramatically increase your commissions and income in a segment that is booming during the current housing slump and credit crisis.
  • Learn how to find serious and qualified buyer clients who each purchase multiple homes per year, during normal business hours, treat you with professional respect, and make decisions quickly without emotion.
  • Learn technological skills that will streamline your business and protect your most precious asset – TIME!
  • Learn about the business that has created more millionaires than any other business ever! Real Estate Investing!

Learning to separate the short-sighted amateurs and “seminar graduates” from professional investors or well qualified high-income “retail investors” is paramount to earning and enjoying business success for agents.  The objective in attracting the latter two is building long-term mutually profitable relationships.
