Why Realtors Should Be Giving Thanks For Wholesalers This Week
Despite many preconceived misconceptions real estate wholesalers and agents can greatly complement each other. Here are four reasons Realtors shouldn’t miss the opportunity to thank a wholesaler this week…
There is a lot to give thanks for in the weeks ahead. Holiday sales, some extra time off, the freedom to get into the real estate business and change your own future, and your family’s future. It’s also the perfect time to experience some gratitude for all those out there that are striving to do good real estate business, in spite of all the temptations and pressures to take short cuts.
Realtors and wholesalers often (incorrectly) view each other as the arch-enemy. It may sometimes seem that you are competing with each other. But in reality you can help each other, a lot. If you learn to work together. This is true, even when you are marketing to the same people.
Wholesalers are Great Clients
Real estate wholesalers can be far better clients than the average home buyer. Providing you can serve up good deals; wholesalers are no nonsense buyers that act with lightning speed. You aren’t going to have to drive them around for six months while they constantly turn down properties because of the carpet color in the third bedroom. That makes them far higher ROI clients too.
The Dig Up the Hard Deals for You
Property wholesalers are experts at digging up those really hard to land deals. They know how to reach out of area owners, get complicated deals structured, and they know how to negotiate. Even if a wholesaler buys one of these properties the odds are that it will ultimately end up as a Realtor listing. This may be immediately, or after it is rehabbed. That’s more deal flow.
Make Properties Easier to Sell
When a property goes from wholesaler to rehabber, or title and lien quirks are worked out by wholesalers; that creates a better looking, easier to sell listing for real estate agents. Again; more ROI on your time. This also improves neighborhoods and means you can sell more other properties for more money, and more commission!
Great Referral Sources
Real estate wholesalers are great sources of referrals. The bottom line is that not everyone is a candidate for selling their property to a wholesaler. Sometimes the numbers just won’t work, or the owner is fine waiting in out on the MLS for a few months. Wholesalers that have already spent money and time on generating these leads can certainly be great sources for these deals. If you are working together and not against each other.
Summary
So give a wholesaler a hug this week. Thank them for their service to the local community. Reach out and surprise them with a “thanks” and lunch to see how you can work together for your mutual benefit.
