THE ROOKIE PLAYBOOK

 

If you’ve been thinking about starting your journey into real estate wholesaling, one of the first positions you’ve likely considered filling is a dispositions representative. Someone who can create buyer’s lists, work with your acquisitions team, and keep wholesale business rolling smoothly and seamlessly. But, finding a strong dispositions rep can be a tricky task if you’re not sure who would enjoy and excel at the position.

On today’s episode, Don’s dispositions rep, Justin joins us on the show to discuss what it’s like to work in dispositions. We discuss the key qualities and personality traits you should look for to ensure who you hire to fill the position is a good fit for the role, the roles and responsibilities of a dispositions rep, and the criteria that a property should meet to determine if it’s appropriate to wholesale or rehab the property. We also discuss the common fears that many property flippers face when branching into real estate wholesaling and why it’s critical that your dispositions rep understands the buyer’s criteria when negotiating deals.
