Working With Discount Brokers As Investors with Ben Mizes » Episode 924

Whether or not you’re a Realtor, you can use the strategies we’re going to talk about today. And listen, how people are finding real estate is changing, so you need to be ready to change with it. Ben Mizes wanted to test his theory out about the different strategies buyers are using, but he wanted to do it in a pro-broker way. That’s why he came up with his platform List With Clever that connects brokers and sellers.

When someone’s selling a house, Ben has a lot of questions for them so he can send them the perfect broker for their situation. He wants to know, “What’s important to you when you’re looking for a Realtor?”. Usually, a seller is looking for one of these four criteria:

— They want to sell quickly.

— They want the highest offer.

— They want an experienced Realtor.

— They want to save money on commission

When Ben brings on Realtors to his platform, he screens them by looking for those who are faster at turning over properties or who specialize in a property or area. His site is free for agents, and will normally yield 3-8 referrals a month in an average, normal Midwestern market.

Ben has some really amazing tools on his website, including a rental property calculator that takes into account nearly every possible scenario. No more guessing on whether a property will cash flow or forgetting to take into account the long term capital improvements.

What’s Inside:

—How local banks can help you with finding properties and property managers.

—Become a referred agent with Ben’s website no matter where you’re at in the country.

—Ben walks me through his very detailed rental property calculator.

—The advantages for wholesalers and brokers for using a platform like Clever.
