Being a retail agent has had its advantages. In a hot market such as the one we had from 1996 to 2006, it was easy to make a living selling houses to owner occupants. Qualifying was easy and mortgage money was plentiful.

But individual retail buyers don't buy very often, so in order to sustain a thriving client base, you have to constantly find new buyers to work with.
The chances of getting any repeat business simply are not that good when your average buyer only buys once every 7 years.

If you are currently a retail agent or broker in the developing buyers market we have now, chances are you have seen your income fall significantly in the past few months. And the tightening mortgage market isn't helping either.

The challenge is - how do you build and maintain a healthy income and client base under any market conditions? And how do you do it without spending a fortune on marketing mail outs, postage, advertising in Real Estate Books, or constantly doing boring things like farming or cold calling for listings?

Becoming an investment expert is the logical choice for agents and brokers who need to broaden their income potential by broadening their client base to include working with professional real estate investors and investment companies.

It allows you to adapt your business to include the one group of real estate buyers who are REPEAT buyers. Unlike owner occupant buyers, locating investment grade properties for investors can provide a constant source of business in any market conditions. And just one good client can buy as many as 10 to 30 properties in a month!

This obviously gives the smart agent or broker the ability to profit more, with lower marketing costs, and fewer clients. And you build a base of repeat clients. This helps to stabilize income and can easily double or triple your income from regular retail closings.

Real Estate Buyers Agents are already licensed property locators. If you are a good listing agent too, great! Learn how find listings that investors will compete for.

You can increase both your buyer agency activity as well as your listing activity when you learn to cater to the investor market. You've already spent thousands of dollars to become an agent or broker, and you probably realize that it would be smart to learn how to work with clients who buy regularly in any market.

You may even decide to become an investor. Many agents and brokers learn how to invest successfully by first learning how to serve the investor market. The experience you can gain watching your investor clients making money can prepare you for the next level of the real estate business - owning your own investment company.

As a broker you should know that the residential investment training available on The Real Estate Arena could provide a great way to increase the production of the agents in your office. If you have agents who are struggling with their retail production, learning to find and work with investor clients can be just the strategy boost that they need to be profitable and productive under any market conditions.

You can become a Property Locator for real estate investors. This is by far the most valuable client group available in the industry today. By the way, here are just some of the huge benefits associated with having real estate investors as clients:

Most Experienced Investors Buy Regularly
Add a second commission stream to your existing business
No Selling - Investors buying criteria is clear and not emotional.
Discover how to become a profitable investor yourself and add a THIRD potential income stream to your real estate business.
Investors are easier to find and market to.
Automate your business - Use technology to avoid excess travel.  We'll introduce you to additional business strategies you can use in this market to increase your income and take advantage of your status as a real estate licensee. You have many opportunities for income that you may not even know about!

How Do We Know That Working With Investors Make Sense?

For the past 9 years we have been working with Property Locators; not only as a source for our own investments, but also educating locators, both licensed and unlicensed, from all over the U.S. We have been showing thousands of people how to increase their income by teaching them how to find and evaluate residential properties for their true income potential.

Many years ago, as a private investment company, we trained our first Property Locator to help find more investment properties for us to buy.

Since then, we have trained thousands of students, both licensed and unlicensed, in the art of evaluating residential real estate for it's true profit potential. Along the way, we have worked with hundreds of agents and brokers.

You see, a Property Locator is someone who has the ability to identify good real estate deals in the market place. A licensee who is also a good investment property locator has the added advantage of being able to represent the investor or company, as their agent, and in so doing collect the commission as the selling agent.

And, even better, as a licensee, in addition to providing property information, and professional representation, you may also provide a range of professional real estate services to your investor clients.

Unlicensed property locators can make good money providing information to private investors but they cannot represent the investors during the transaction, and they must charge the investor buyer a fee, since they cannot collect regular commissions. This gives agents an inherent advantage - In most cases, your "fees" are "free" for the buyer, since they are usually paid by the seller. This is an added incentive for investors to work with licensees.

We started a regular training program for property locators back in the late 1990's. Our first classes included newbies, licensed agents, lenders, and even a few contractors from time to time. It was a great success, and we trained hundreds of locators. During that time, the investment company bought more than 600 properties over a 4 year period, and paid out over 1 MILLION dollars in finders fees and commissions to locators who found the deals we bought.

Eventually we turned our training manual into a digital manual that could be downloaded. Today that manual is part of our basic property locator training program on The Real Estate Arena. It is made available to all TREA members inside their TREA virtual office.

After a while, people actually started flying in from all over the country to our office in Atlanta, to learn how to identify good deals in their market places.

And now, several years later, The Real Estate Arena has trained thousands of people who wanted to learn the tricks of the investing trade from real investors who have been through hundreds of deals worth tens of millions of dollars.

So just why are Property Locators in such high demand in the market place?

You see, for investors the most critical segment of the business is the acquisition side.

The ability to get the property below market value will determine whether or not the deal could be profitable to an investor, and the better the deal, the more profit there is for the investor.

You can use property locating in conjunction with retail real estate sales to broaden your client base and drastically improve your current income. And once you build a stable of solid professional buyers, you can make more money and actually work less hours. Investors don't call you at 9 PM to discuss their personal problems or ask if it will be OK to go ahead and buy a car or file bankruptcy the week before their house closes.

As you can see, combining investor clients with your retail business is a great way to increase income and make more money as a licensed agent or broker.
And, you have the added bonus of learning important skills that can help you become even more profitable when become an investor yourself.
