When you’re deep in the trenches of real estate investing, especially balancing it with a full-time job, it’s easy to forget that what’s second nature to you might be completely foreign to the sellers you’re working with. They’re often stepping into a world they don’t fully understand, and that’s where clear, patient communication becomes your secret weapon. Many sellers don’t know what escrow is, they’ve never heard of a HUD form, and the idea of working with a title company might be completely new to them. It’s easy to gloss over these details in the rush to close a deal, but taking the time to explain each step is crucial. Not only does it build trust, but it also ensures that there are no surprises down the line—something that can derail a deal faster than you think. Imagine being in their shoes, handing over something as significant as a property without really understanding the process. By providing clear explanations, keeping them informed, and ensuring they have all the documents they need, you’re not just guiding them through a transaction—you’re building a relationship. This transparency doesn’t just lead to smoother deals; it creates lasting connections that can lead to referrals and repeat business. In the hustle to get deals done, never underestimate the power of communication. It’s the key to turning a hesitant seller into a confident partner in the transaction. Take the time to explain, to share, and to guide. It’s these small efforts that set you apart and pave the way for long-term success in real estate. #RealEstateWholesaling #SellerCommunication #TrustBuilding #OffMarketAcquisitions #RealEstateGrowth #FreedomFighters

"Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." – Henry Ford This quote by Henry Ford couldn't be more relevant to the world of commercial real estate. Whether you're negotiating a lease, closing a sale, or developing a property, the path to success is paved with collaboration at every step. 🏢🤝 Coming together is the beginning: Every deal starts with a group of people—buyers, sellers, brokers, lenders, and legal teams—coming together with a common goal. It’s the moment when everyone agrees to pursue a shared vision and begins to lay the groundwork for the deal. Keeping together is progress: As the deal progresses, challenges and hurdles inevitably arise. Whether it’s due diligence, financing complications, or market fluctuations, it’s the ability to stay aligned and communicate effectively that keeps the deal moving forward. It’s about maintaining trust and navigating the obstacles as a united front. Working together is success: Success in commercial real estate is never the result of one person or one team. It’s the result of every party involved working in harmony (buyer, seller, broker, escrow, title, lenders, vendors, attorneys, etc.) —finding creative solutions, making compromises when needed, and ultimately getting to the finish line together. The true win comes when everyone pulls in the same direction to achieve a shared goal. In this industry, it’s not just about individual effort—it’s about building lasting relationships, fostering collaboration, and turning challenges into opportunities. The most successful deals are the ones where everyone works together, not just to close, but to create long-term value. Does this resonate with anyone? Do you agree to disagree? #CommercialRealEstate #Collaboration #Teamwork #CRE #RealEstateSuccess #HenryFord #RealEstateCommunity #MajorProperties

*Are We Just Closing Deals, or Building Trust?* As real estate agents and brokers, it’s easy to get caught up in the race to close the next deal, meet targets, and grow our businesses. But is the number of transactions really the best measure of our success? In a world where buyers and sellers have endless options at their fingertips, trust has become the most valuable currency in real estate. Are we investing enough time in truly understanding our clients’ needs and concerns? How are we differentiating ourselves in a market full of competition? Are we focusing on relationships that last beyond the transaction, or just the next commission? In a profession where people trust us with some of their biggest life decisions—choosing a home, a community, an investment—how we build and nurture relationships is what sets us apart. Real estate isn’t just about properties; it’s about people. It’s about being the trusted advisor that clients turn to time and time again. 💬 How are you building trust and long-term relationships in your real estate business? What are you doing differently to stand out in a crowded market? #RealEstateAgents #ClientFocus #RealEstate #REMAX

1st real estate deal ✅✅✅ I wanted to share a quick breakdown of what my first deal in real estate looked like! I’m new to the industry in a sense of working on creating deals and working with sellers/buyers, but not new to investing in real estate. Luckily some past experience with investing has given me a little bit of proof and knowledge around what investors and buyers are looking for in their real estate. Heres the breakdown: 1. $1,500 in marketing spend with a cold calling agency brought me 75 lukewarm (at best) leads. 2. Converted the lead to a contract, offered to buy up the property at 58% ($190k) of after repair value (ARV). 3. Partnered with a well networked buyer in my market. 4. Found and negotiated with one of the buyers in their network to invest in the property at 64% ($210k) of ARV. 5. Closed on the property, split the assignment fee with the JV partner. Turned $1,500 into $10,000. This is nothing crazy but a beacon of hope that there are other ways to make money other than d2d sales 🥳🥳🥳

🏡 Food for thought on real estate contracts… 🔑 If you desire to have real estate become a stronger portion of your wealth strategy, it’s key to have a proper mindset regarding contracts to buy or sell. As challenging as it may be, it’s important to keep emotion out of the process. Keep these things in mind… ✔️A purchase agreement gives a buyer a period of time to “lock up” the property, do their diligence, and ultimately do the deal, or not. ✔️I’ve had buyers terminate on me (as a seller), and I’ve terminated deals as a potential buyer. ✔️Terminating a deal doesn’t make someone not a person of their word. It’s simple business and contract law. A purchase contract buys time and the option to purchase. ✔️Good realtors will always provide exit strategies for their buyers. There should be a window of time that a buyer can exit a contract and get back their earnest money, dependent upon inspection, etc. ✔️This is where realtors really earn their money and protect both buyers and sellers. ✔️Deals directly between buyers and sellers often get very ugly when someone exits. People often take things very personally. Realtors add a buffer of protection and logic (proper contracts) between emotional buyers and sellers. 💡My opinion: most potential investors don’t go under contract often enough. They see a purchase contract as signing their name in blood 🩸. I don’t see it that way. A contract locks in a diligence period and an option for the buyer to proceed. 💡Sometimes you simply can’t get all the knowledge and facts about a property prior to getting under contract. If you’re going to acquire a portfolio of solid properties, or move every few years, it’s very possible there will be several terminated contracts along the way. The encouragement is to be ok with it on either side (buyer/seller). It’s a part of the process. #InfiniteBanking #FaithFamilyFitnessFinances
