Investing in Real Estate Made Easy – Right Ways to Work With a Realtor

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Real Living GreatWest

Are you investing in real estate for the first time? Have you decided not to hire a realtor because of the myth that realtors think investors are a conflict of interest? How can a person buying or selling a home be a conflict of interest? The common misconception among investors is that the realtors will put their property on the MLS and get it sold fast without getting them a good deal! But how can this stop you from contacting a realtor? They will only help you get the best deal on your property and investments. Realtors have ample resources to help you handle the real estate market with much ease. Then why not get the services of a realtor? Here is information on how to work with realtors.

Your first step in real estate investments should be to get a real estate magazine from the nearest departmental store. This way, you can get a list of all the realtors in your locality. You can call them to get details about their services. Make sure you make a note of all the services offered by various realtors.  This will give you a clear picture and help you compare and find affordable services. This small activity will also help you get a clear picture of the current real estate market trend and help you prepare for your investments.

After you decide on the realtor, it is advisable to meet him in person and introduce yourself and the property of your choice. You can get a better picture of the property you are looking at as he will tell you if it is worth investing on that property. Your finances are to be clearly explained and the realtors’ commission is to be clearly decided. You have to neatly document all the information a realtor has to offer.

While working with realtors, you have to make a contract by listing all the services they will be offering through the transaction. You have to make the realtors get working on your business transaction without delay. Remember, delaying to begin your transaction can only get the realtors thinking that you are not serious about your business. Make sure you sound confident about your business. Feel free to ask your realtors advice on any issue that you are unsure about.

 

An efficient realtor can get you the best deals in real estate, it’s important that you choose carefully. Once the deal is done, it is your duty to pay the realtor his commission that was decided in the contract. It is essential that you keep in contact with your realtor throughout the transaction and even afterwards if essential.

Realtors have to shift to a more investor mentality. Investors do not want to see homes from the MLS because that is retail. Go find the deals
