The Power of the MLS!!!
The Large Font of this Blog, is for those who are seeing impaired. I was scrolling through my Facebook Page, and came to a Video of a Wholesaler. The subject matter was the MLS is dead, and Social Media is the Best Source for Real Estate Deals.
Unfortunately to the Mis-Informed Wholesaler
The MLS(Multiple Listing Service) is one Tool, Real Estate Agents, and or REALTOR(R)'s use to Market a Property(ies) Worldwide. Selling a Home or assisting someone to Buy a Home is more than, "Please Sign Here".
Here is a Wholesale Scenario: Property Owner responds to a Bandit Sign or an Ad on Social Media saying "We Buy Homes, Fast, No Repairs, All Cash, As-Is". They call the number and ask, what's the process? Wholesaler meet and greets Property Owner, and find out the Bottom Line.
Mr, Ms. Seller for an As-Is Property the Value of your Home After Repair Value is $500,000. We are going to get this Property Market Ready at our Expense. No need to Hire a Real Estate Agent. We can Close in 15 Days for $350,000. Seller says where do I Sign? Wholesaler then has the Seller to Sign a Contract giving the Wholesaler Equitable Interest.
The Wholesaler Markets the Property via Social Media as an Off Market Property deeply Discounted at $400,000. A Cash Investor see's the Value of the Property and writes an Offer to the wholesaler for $400,000. The Deal Closes Escrow.
Property Owner receives: $350,000
