01:04:30 Share

A familiar voice pops in for this episode of the Rookie Podcast, it’s David Greene)! The** real estate agent, investor, entrepreneur, and co-host of the **BiggerPockets Real Estate podcast) joins us to talk about making the transition to top real estate agent and what new investors can do to find better deals and a great agent.

Most newbie investors want to be hand-held, which makes sense when you’re just starting out. That being said, that may not be **the best way to **find a great agent) who can help you find a profitable deal. David talks through why so many new investors never end up buying, why you aren’t “hiring” an agent, and **how to work together to achieve a **win-win scenario). As he puts it, you’re in a partnership together, meaning it’s a win-win or a lose-lose.

If you’re trying to become a great agent, make sure you jot down some notes on David’s “medicine and delivery system” analogy where he talks about how he had to change his perceptions to succeed as a real estate agent. Many new agents (and investors) want to wait until they get their first sale/deal to become confident, but you’ll** need confidence**) before you can get the first one!
