Real estate agents

You've already heard from me. This is the long version.

I’m a real estate investor. Veteran and paramedic. I work creative-finance deals across the whole toolbox: subject-to, seller financing, hybrid, wraps, novation, lease options, agreements for sale, loan assumptions, the Morby Method, and cash when cash is the answer. Which one I reach for depends on the seller’s situation and the numbers, and I’ll tell you up front which it is.

I’d rather have a relationship with you than with any one house. A few agents I can work with again and again are worth more to me than a hundred cold calls, and I treat your commission as the best marketing money I’ll ever spend. That’s the whole reason I got in touch.

How I can help you

The listing that can't close the normal way.

The seller’s behind on payments, there’s little or no equity, the house is original condition, or it’s been sitting past the local average days on market, and no cash or financed buyer can get there. A creative structure can get it closed, and it pays your full commission. I don’t negotiate your commission, and where the deal allows I cover closing costs too.

The pre-listing call.

When you sit down with a seller and the house is original condition or the numbers don’t work, talk to me before you list it. Reply to my message or use the form below and I’ll call you.

The buyer who can't get approved.

You meet buyers who can’t get financing. Some of them can still get into a house on a creative structure, and you get paid on it. Send them my way.

Booked seller appointments.

My system finds homeowners who are likely to sell. The ones whose situation calls for creative financing, I work myself. The ones that are ordinary sales, I bring to you as booked seller appointments: a homeowner who has agreed to a time to talk with you about selling. That’s the part that makes this a long-term arrangement instead of one deal. The appointment side runs through my company, ottomatik[ai]. How the appointment side works →

How I work

I never go around you to your seller. I call you before I ever put an offer in writing. I won’t lowball a fresh listing. If I can’t do anything with a listing, you’ll hear that from me right away instead of waiting on a maybe. Your client stays your client.

How you help me

Send me the listings that are aging or in original condition, pocket listings before they hit the MLS, buyers who can’t get financed, and the name of any other agent you know who works with investors. That’s all I’m asking for.

Bring me the situation.

Partial information is fine. Type it or say it, and I'll call you back. I read and listen to every one myself.

Type it out

Or just say it.
