Client & Short Job Description:
Wholesale real estate investors, who are looking for new real estate properties they can purchase, and then resell.

About 90% of the time, they simply find the seller and buyer at the same time and connect them in order to finalize a transaction, and they charge a fee for their work.
The team is made up of two co-owners, a person who physically goes to each property to deliver documents, etc to the physical property, and/or to show the property in-person to a potential buyer. Additionally, they work with contractors, property managers, and other people.
