This is a great example of being a team member when structuring a partnership. Enjoy ;)
REAL ESTATE IS A TEAM SPORT real estate is a team sport Real Estate is a Team Sport
I grew up playing basketball in school. I was a post forward most of the time during junior high and high school. I learned at an early age even in grade school what it meant to be a team member. I think sports played a big part in my life and is helping me even today in my business because I learned this valuable lesson.
Maybe one reason some people excel in business is because they have learned valuable lessons from Team Sports. Real Estate is a team sport.
A Team Member will play for the team to win not just to win for themselves.
The Team will be placed in the Top Priority not the individual.
The Team wins as a whole, not the individual.
The Team loses as a whole, not the individual.
The Team supports its members and is only as strong as the weakest member.
The Team Member will step into the gap for another member. The Team Member will do what they have to do to make the team look good. It's all about the Team, not the individual; but in the end, the individuals are recognized even more highly than they ever could have been individually because there is strength in numbers and the whole is always greater than the sum of all its parts.
This is what it means to be a Team Member. It means to Win!

It is almost summer, flowers are blooming, grass is growing, and the sun is shining, so maybe it's time to look at how your business is growing. If you are wondering how to jump start yours, or are trying to find a new niche to approach, maybe working with quality investors is for you.
They are looking for a great investment. They hear about all the real estate investors who made a bundle buying and selling houses, so they go out and buy the first run-down house they see. They are not prepared for all the work involved. It often takes months to complete and they usually go over budget. They are emotionally attached to the property. These are the people who will have an opinion about how you should stage and will hover over you like a hawk. Though they would not be my first recommendation to start with, some can be "easily trained" if they trust you.
These investors are always looking for an investment edge. For them, it is all about being at the right place at the right time and taking a chance on a house as a means of making money. Their philosophy is, "If today's property doesn't work out, there will always be others." They normally have money/cash, or a great loan to buy the props. The challenge is that they don't always invest smart or they over indulge on things that they don't need to. No... you need not put a Thermador refrigerator in every property. They also can be emotional and controlling at times. They might complete three to five properties a year and the locations are all over the map. They may have a team, i.e., Realtor, investor, lender, and outside contractors. This is where real estate agents should look, and stagers... here is where you can refer to an agent you feel would work best with them.
These investors have money and experience. They generally choose a single investment area and become the expert of that area. They know they can make money in the chosen investment area during any market - hot, cold, or in-between. They know their investment area inside and out in terms of target market and pricing. They are less emotional and not controlling. They have a team of professionals including a stager and a real estate agent as well as a subcontractor team; the team members have been interviewed and their work has been seen firsthand. Instead of just buying and selling homes, they have a plan to make money for this year and the next with volume! This is where you want to be. For Realtors and stagers, you can bring your stage 2 clients to this point very quickly.
