It’s not uncommon for experienced investors to work through the entire process, from initial purchase to resale, in approximately four to five months.
For investor-friendly real estate agents, this is great. Instead of waiting five to 10 years for buyer clients to sell their homes after purchase, they’re typically helping investor clients sell homes within one year of a purchase.
Finding an investor to partner with means more dealsIn addition to bringing in their agents to work both sides of the deal, investors tend to take on multiple investment properties at once.
Highly experienced real estate investors, for instance, are often able to work 10-15 investment properties per year. It’s not unheard of for an experienced investor to provide their agent with up to 30 deals in a single year!
Besides builders, other types of real estate clients simply can’t provide agents with that much business.
Savvy investors value their time and the time of their agentsBringing in more business isn’t the only way investors help agents make more money. Savvy investors value their time, and they know that an agent’s time is valuable as well.
Experienced investors tend to waste agents’ time far less often as a result, which allows their agents to work more deals with other clients as well.
If you’ve had sellers who refused to do what it takes to get their property sold or buyers who looked at countless homes without making an offer, you know how some clients can drain one of your most valuable resources: your time.
