Realtors probably think that most of the guys at We Buy Houses probably don’t come up with opportunities to work together and make commissions. I would like to show that every real estate agent must work hand in hand with a serious player.
First, investors do a lot of marketing, whether it’s through banner ads, direct mail, or using a website like anyone on the right side of Google.
Real estate investors (the companies we buy houses from) don’t use more than 70% of those leads and in my experience only about 20% of the 70% are currently listed with real estate agents. Most people who contact investors need to sell fast. Most don’t have a lot of capital, but you’d be surprised how many have enough to sell cheap and still pay their commission.
You can make a deal with this investor to get your dead leads
Second, an investor can buy an ugly listing, work a short sale, or even pay full price if your owner is willing to finance it. Here’s a real world example.
Let’s say the house is worth $200,000. You would pay $192,000 with a 6% down payment and $900 zero interest for 72 months and then a balloon payment.
For someone who needs to sell a home in Orlando fast for cash with no contingencies, the guys at We Buy Homes are a possible solution. If you, as a real estate agent, have been ignoring these people, you should make an effort to meet a few if you have a home to sell today or you don’t get a commission.
