Real Estate Bird Dogs
September 11th, 2007 | 
Author: Investment is the number one word for real estate. However, those who play a part in the investment will make a large difference in what is available to you. Whether you are working towards finding real estate property for profit or for your first home, knowing where the resources are and what they do can help you find the best deals.Â
One important person that is part of the real estate investment plan is the real estate bird dogs. The main job of a real estate bird dog is to find property for those who want to invest in real estate property. After they find a property, the investor will then pay them a service fee. The real estate bird dog will have no attachment to the property after it is found and given to the investor, leaving the rest of the changes up to the real estate investor. If one is going to invest in a property, they will expect the real estate bird dog to find them leads that are valuable and can be sold at a good price.Â
There are several ways in which a real estate bird dog can find a home and bring it to an investor. Most bird dogs will find property that is being sold by the owner. When this is brought to the investor, they will pay a certain amount to the bird dog. If someone is trying to have their payments taken over because of foreclosure, this can also are brought to a real estate company. Those who have had circumstances take over the owning of their property can be recommended to the investor. For example, a second mortgage that can’t be paid, a death by the owner of the home, a loss of a job and other family or career related issues can be leads for a real estate bird dog. From here, the real estate company can try to sell the home. If they do, then the real estate bird dog will receive a commission for the find.
Understanding the process of real estate, and using the different resources can help you to find the best deals and make the best deals. If you aren’t sure where to start, using a real estate bird dog is a good way to sniff out what is available to you. This will give you the ability to claim or give away a piece of property on the market.Â

Hmm…you know, I’m in the mortgage business and I had no idea those people were called Real Estate Bird Dogs. You learn something everyday! Thanks!
Great post…one bit of advice to bird dogs..don’t get greedy. You are a bird dog for a reason…to learn the business and make your way up. If you treat people well. You’ll make the big money as you progress.
Almost a year since you posted the article, looks like property in the US and also here in the UK may not be the investment everyone thought it might be. Bird dogs could be an endangered animal now.
The real estate markets have not been kind to many home sellers over the past few years here in New Jersey. Great post.
Great, good service you launch for investors, the name “bird dogs” showing that you are a flying dog in the real estate, i hope it will be better to make a deal with you, make sure convenient & reliable deal make the credibility strong.
i think more than the investment real estate business needs to attract customer with your words whether it is lie or true.
i know people who started business of real estate business as assistance to some one and now they own their own office and have become millionaire. it is good business all around the world.
Good information. Another twist on this is companies that specialize in buying bulk foreclosures. They buy properties in quantities and resell them to investors.
They handle the renovations and property management. All the investor has to do is put up the money.
Nice insight. I work with all sorts of clients that have found a way to profit in the real estate market. Some of my Huntington Beach CPA clients do this and make some money, especially during times like these.
Imagine getting paid to learn how to real estate invest. That is exactly what real estate bird dogs do everyday. They learn how to real estate invest by finding other people discount real estate property.Attending real estate meetings will give you a chance to find out who is doing business in your area. Do not just focus on the investors that are at the meetings. Ask the investors who are at the meetings about who else is doing business in the area.
Getting paid to learn is a great plan. Those are some good tips, I’m getting some networking ideas! Thanks
Investment in real estate bird dogs sometimes make learn how to make the great investment.
For me in recent times real estate investment is good, because it comes under basic necessities.
It’s a great time to invest!
Since your post was originally written the real estate industry has been turned upside down. There are so many low priced homes available these days that it is hard to believe there is still a need for “real estate bird dogs”. Most agents should be able to fill this role without problem. Just read an article in our local paper yesterday here in Colorado with a headline “Short Sales Gum Up the Market”. It said 12% of all home sales in the U.S. at this time are short sales. Even with that it is hard for investors to buy these homes (can easily take 6 months) and of course this is difficult for the sellers trying to avoid foreclosure. There are so many short sales, and so much paperwork is required by banks (who don’t want to eat the losses) that the system is all gummed up.
