There are many investors, who consider the real estate agents as the competitors. They are not clear about their image out in the market, they see out in the market competing for a few deals, fighting with the local agents and brokers for making money. It costs them time, and also loss of thousands of dollars from their lost deals.
As an investor, the best and most profitable relationship is to develop with a real estate agent. As an investor, motivated sellers are your market, because they do not need all the cash at closing, and are also flexible on the sale’s terms. They can also deeply discount the price of their properties for an immediate sale.
90% of the sellers you talk with are not motivated enough for being flexible on the price and terms, on which you require them to be. You can extend the sellers you can’t help onto a real estate agent; he will be able to change these sellers into a flow of commissions by selling their houses or property. Keep in mind that most of the agents spend enormous time and money for finding out the homeowners, who are seeking to sell for the cash and who have the time for the best offer.
An exclusive agreement is a listing that a seller signs with an agent offering them the right for selling the home for the seller. It is particularly for three to six months and several times, an agent becomes unable to sell the house within that time period. The agent must search the Multiple Listing Service, so that he can look for the properties that did not sell, and whose listing has expired.
