Why Would An Investor Work With Realtor To Find Investment Properties? by Mark Maupin, Michigan Real Estate Investing Club Host

In Michigan Real Estate Market  one of the single best assets you can have when working with property is a good relationship with a seasoned, established real estate agent in the area you are buying in. Many investors feel some sort of resentment against real estate agents in general, when in reality, if they would follow some simple rules, they would find that a good agent will make them considerably more than they could make on their own.

A few points about Realtors:

1. They work with real estate values and markets every day, the average investor works with property in his spare time.

2. They only get paid if they successfully perform a service for you.

3. If you find a full time agent that has been selling real estate for more than 3 years, he or she probably knows more about marketing your property than you ever will, unless you take up investing full time. Again, look for a quality agent, one who is full time in real estate sales, not part time.

If you don't know the value of a particular piece of real estate, you can use an agent to help you locate comparable properties. An agent can also give you pointers on what makes property sell, such as what are the latest color schemes, and how to "stage" a house for sale.

Where do you find Investor Realtor or Investor Real Estate Agent?

How does investor find a Real estate agent that understands how investor thinks and kind of property that works for investor buys? The best places are real estate investor clubs.
