Finding the Right Real Estate Agency

Takeaways

  • When you're building a rental property business, it pays to build a relationship with a seasoned real estate agent.
  • Try to work with real estate professionals that have experience with investment properties.
  • Interview a number of real estate professionals and trust you instincts when choosing one.

Did you know?

  • An experienced agent will have needed community and professional connections.
Take your time when choosing an agent. When investing in rental real estate over the long haul, it makes sense to find a real estate broker or agent who wants to build a long-term relationship rather than simply making one quick sale.

Ask for recommendations from friends or business associates, and contact a local GMAC Real Estate Office. Call the agency and ask for an appointment with a seasoned agent who has been selling real estate for several years and will have the community connections you need. Ask for references and contact clients who have previously purchased investment properties.

Trust your instincts. If an agent is not willing to spend time understanding your needs or if he or she does not "bond" with you personally, look elsewhere. It may be necessary to interview numerous agents before finding the right real estate partner.
