41
Q

Real Estate Agent VS. Investor

A

Many people do not make the distinction between Realtors and real estate investors since they both deal with real estate. However, there is a world of difference in what they do and how they operate, and it is important to understand these differences when you are selling or buying a piece of property. Let’s look at what makes them different.

42
Q

Agents need to be licensed; investors do not.

A

Real estate agents need to be licensed by the state in which they do business. Real estate investors do not need a real estate license. People always ask me if they need a real estate license to buy and sell properties. The answer is no. You only need a license if you plan to represent someone other than yourself in the purchase and sale of properties.

43
Q

Agents earn commissions; investors do not.

A

Both real estate agents and real estate investors earn money on real estate. They just do it in different ways. Agents earn 1-5% commission off every sale they facilitate. Sophisticated investors first decide how much they want to earn then find deals that meet their minimum criteria.

44
Q

Agents rely on the integrity of their brand to market; investors do not.

A

Agents and investors both invest in marketing. Agents typically have websites, business cards and do quite a bit of networking and even some direct mail campaigns. Investors are known by their simple signage. You may see handwritten yard signs in the cities that say: We buy ugly houses.

45
Q

Agents are employed by brokers; investors are not.

A

Real estate agents work under real estate brokers. Once an agent is done with school and has been licensed by the state, he or she has to find a real estate broker to call home. Investors have to make their own way. They are independent individuals who go where the deals are.

46
Q

Helping You Sell or Buying from You.

A

When you work with a real estate agent, they will help you sell your property. They will assist with the marketing, staging the home, and showing it to others for you. They strive to make the process of selling as easy as possible. However, the investors are looking to buy from people like you. The real estate agents will try to get you the highest amount possible for your home. The investors will want to negotiate with you to get the lowest possible price for the home you are selling, since they need to make a profit on it.

47
Q

How they work.

A

A Realtor works for a broker and the investors tend to work on their own or in teams/ groups. The investors do not have the same amount of regulation and oversight that the Realtors have since they are working on their own behalf.

48
Q

Realtor Investors - The Best of Both Worlds.

A

As you can see, even though they are both working with real estate, there are many differences between Realtors and investors. However, some realtors are investors too! This gives them a distinct advantage when working with sellers. Not only do they understand both the Realtor and investor side of real estate, they are able to offer sellers more options to meet their needs.

49
Q

What is WHOLESALING?

A

“Wholesaling real estate is when a real estate wholesaler puts a distressed home under contract with the intent to assign that contract to another buyer. They market the property to potential buyers for a higher price then they have the property under contract for.”
