FAQ About Our Real Estate Consultant Services
Q: What is a real estate consultant?
A real estate consultant provides advice to clients in real estate transactions. A real estate consultant is an expert in real estate and usually is an expert in a specified market, such as Greater Cleveland, Ohio in our case. Real estate consultants can provide deep analysis and guidance on the purchase, sale, etc. of residential, investment or commercial real estate.
Q: What is the difference between a realtor and a real estate consultant?
Both are technically optional, as you don’t need either to buy or sell a property. A realtor works on commission. They are involved in the actual process of buying or selling a property. They provide you with access to data on the MLS, can accompany you on showings, host showings or open houses, might suggest properties based on your criteria, and can help you negotiate in some regards.
A real estate consultant works on an hourly or set price. They advise real estate investors on the purchase or sale of a real estate investment property or properties. RE consultants analyze the financial viability of a real estate investment, provide you with a deeper understanding of the costs, finances and cash flow of the real estate investment, provide statements of work and estimates for construction, rehab, and rent, provide insights on the market (or specific location) of a property, etc.
Q: What skills can we offer you as your real estate consultant?
Real estate consultants need to have:
- Strong analytical skills to analyze the property, the construction or rehab costs, the operating financials (including current/potential rents, expenses, reserves, etc.), the market etc.
- Expertise in real estate investment strategies, funding, etc.
- Expertise in the local market on a street by street basis
- Extremely strong attention to detail
