Real Estate Agents

Having access to a active real estate agent can be very beneficial. By working with a good real estate agent you can have them keep you updated with the best deals in your marketplace as soon as they come onto the market; this strategy can easily be put on auto pilot because they will have access to the multiple listing service. When looking for a real estate agent, consider a agent that is new to the industry. It will be likely that they will have fewer clients and more time on their hands to work with you. Be sure to be clear with your agent, and tell them exactly the types of properties that you are looking for.

Many people try to sell their properties by themselves. These sales are deemed as For Sale by Owner, or FSBO. Sometimes these can be great deals, as there are no real estate agents involved looking to make a commission. As such, an owner can afford to ask for a lower price. At the same time, it could mean these properties can be grossly inflated, because the owner has no footing in their local market. Be sure to know the conditions of your local market to make sure you are paying the best price possible. www.Craigslist.org is a great website to start out at to find for sale by owners.

Make The Deals Come to YOU

You can make these deals come to you by putting up We Buy Houses Signs, passing out fliers, business cards, stickers, custom pens and putting car magnets on your vehicles. When you put your name out here people will think of you when they need to sell their houses. This is your ultimate goal because honestly you dont want to be calling up sellers for the rest of your life do you?
