Choosing a Realtor For Investment Real Estate
By Tom Dunn | August 31, 2008
Today we’re going to cover how to pick the right realtor to help you reach your real estate investing goals. Not all Realtors will be equipped to help you with investment real estate. Most specialize in helping homeowners find a place to live.
To find a Realtor who understand the specialized needs of the investor, start by asking other investors you know. Ask them which realty office in your town handles the bulk of the foreclosures. Chances are the agents in this office will be far more experienced in investment property than their counterparts in other offices.
Once you know which office handles most of your area’s foreclosures, it’s time to talk to the individual agents. Call the office and ask who has the most experience with residential income and investment property. Chances are, if the person who answers the phone doesn’t know, they will be able to find out quickly for you.
Once you have located a couple of experienced agents, it’s a simple step to interview them, and find one you get along with and who will work well for you. Take action, and move one step closer to investing in investment properties for beginners.
