Below are companies that provide services to your clients looking for a rent to own option. https://www.divvyhomes.com https://www.homepartners.com https://www.landis.com/agents Simply put, your client will contact one of these companies and if approved, as their Realtor will help them find a property of their choice.

When meeting a potential seller for a listing appointment, you will want to create a CMA- A comparative market analysis.   In Real Estate, pricing is an art of comparing apples to apples.  There is a great tool on the MLS called “Cloud CMA" where you can find similar properties that have sold, under contract and currently on the market to help your client successfully price the home to sell. You will be able to access CloudCMA once you are inside your MRED account.

Offers to purchase on behalf of two or more clients represented by the same agent for the same property, which the agent believes will be considered by the owner during the same period of time is called a contemporaneous offer. When you find yourself in this situation you need to have permission from both parties to put two offers in from different parties on the same property. The reason for this is because it can become a conflict of interest that your client is not interested in dealing with. If this is the case you will need to refer that client to another agent (always ask for a referral fee!) You can find the Disclosure that you need for this situation in Dotloop. The template will be your association’s forms. The name of the form is Disclosure of Contemporaneous Offers.

Add the Open House to the MLS Click Listings. Choose add/edit a Tour or Open House. Print flyers for open house. Choose your listing on the MLS. On the top of the page you will see “Create a Flyer” OR you can design and print your own using a service like Canva (free graphic design software) Best Practices Try to have someone with you for safety concerns. Best case scenario- have a lender join you. As long as 50% of the marketing is dedicated to the lender they can also chip in up to 50% of marketing costs. This can be printing costs for flyers, food and beverages for an open houses, or knick knacks you are giving away. If you are new to the industry, you may want to have another agent help! Offer a flat fee to another agent with experience within Kale Realty to host the open with you and teach you how they like to do it. A little guidance can go a long way in the field. Have a Sign in Sheet This sheet should have the name of the attendee as well as their email, phone, and “are you working with an agent” so you know not to contact them if they are. Chat with each person, but you do not need to walk them around. Be yourself and ask questions! The first question you ask should always be, “Are you working with an agent?” because if they are you cannot represent them. Your best bet at that point it to have them direct all questions to their agent and for the agent to contact you.
