Looking for RE agents

Just be honest and sincere with them. Let them know you ARE SERIOUS and that you are not a bull -----er. Show them enthusiasm and willingness to help THEM with bringing THEM leads when not making deals yourself. Read 30 days to cash on page 40 or 41 about talking to a real estate agent. Prepare before your Meeting. Anticipate questions they may ask and have ready answers for them. Again. Be honest and create a giving helping atmosphere and at the same time ask for an opportunity to learn from them as you begin to invest in yours and their future of properties and commissions.

Expressing seriousness does nothing for a seasoned real estate agent. All they're interested in is a serious buyer who can close a deal and produce a commission. People sometimes forget that this is a business, and like most businesses, if there is no profit to be had, then things go sour really fast. There is no sense in acting if you can not deliver. Most real estate agents are timid towards investors. Their reasoning is that investors look at 25 properties and then low ball. What they really what is a retail buyer who looks at 3 and gives a fair offer. Can't really blame the timid, after all they're also after the easy money. Why show 25 with a low ball offer if they can get a higher commission showing only a few and a better chance of the offer being accepted.

just keep trying. You will get comfortable with the questions, and with experience like Jay says you will see you can bring something to the table. You can help them with leads, or perhaps like my realtor he wants to invest himself and we help each other out in that way. Also you may have homes and he/she may have tenant buyers for your homes, etc.

When you call the broker office and ask for the receptionist, ask them for the newest agent or the one who has just started. This one will be EAGER to work with someone that has limited experience as they are learning just like you. You both will be building knowledge together and they will be more inclined to do exactly as you say as YOU are the one who has all the knowledge from this site and a network of support right here with us )
Matt Larson uses this strategy also !!

Who ever you work with in this business, whether it's a contractor, appraiser or real estate agent, remember to always seek out and work with the skilled and competent. You gain more by finding a rich mine and mining it deeper, than by flitting from one shallow mine to another.

I agree. You never want to be the smartest one in the room but in some instances you can achieve some remarkable results by thinking outside the box. We always want to work with A PLAYERS and sometimes we find them in starters.
