Why Some Agents Refer Clients to Investors

Not every listing is a perfect fit for the MLS. Some sellers need speed, flexibility, or creative terms and that’s where real estate investors step in.

Over the past few years, more and more agents in Dallas-Fort Worth are partnering with investors like Mac Does REI to close deals that otherwise wouldn’t happen. Here’s why these referrals are on the rise and how they benefit not just the seller, but the agent too.

When Listings Don’t Make Sense

As an agent, your goal is to get the best outcome for your client. But what if that client:

• Can’t afford repairs to list?
• Is facing foreclosure or a tax lien?
• Needs to sell in under 7 days?
• Can’t wait for a traditional buyer to secure financing?

In these cases, the MLS might not be the fastest or most profitable solution. Sending the client to a trusted investor can save the deal and your client relationship.

Why Agents Refer to Mac Does REI

We’re not wholesalers who make lowball offers and disappear. We’re licensed professionals and investors who:

• Pay referral fees (when allowed by law)
• Keep you in the loop on the transaction
• Offer creative solutions like wraps, subject-to, and owner finance
• Protect your client relationship and reputation
• Work with both retail and off-market buyers for exit flexibility

Whether your client is in distress or simply needs speed, we structure win-win deals that give you a closing instead of a lost listing.

Case Study: Referral = Saved Deal and Paid Agent

A DFW agent recently referred us a lead they didn’t want to list:

• The home needed $25,000 in repairs
• The seller was behind on mortgage payments
• The equity position was thin

We structured a subject-to acquisition, caught up the arrears, and wrapped the property to a new buyer.

The results:

• The seller avoided foreclosure
• The agent received a referral fee
• The client later sent that agent three new referrals

That’s a true win for everyone involved.

Benefits for the Seller

• No repairs or clean-out required
• Flexible closing timeline (as fast as 7 days)
• No showings, open houses, or delays
• Ability to leave behind unwanted items
• Options for creative financing or even equity sharing

Benefits for the Agent

• Protect the client relationship
• Get paid when listings don’t qualify
• Solve difficult problems with a trusted partner
• Maintain your role as the client’s go-to advisor
• Turn a “dead lead” into new revenue

When a traditional listing doesn’t make sense, a well-structured investor partnership gives your clients more options and gives you more solutions in your toolbox.

At Mac Does REI, we love working with professionals who put the client’s needs first. Together, we can help more people, close more deals, and grow your brand as a true problem-solver in DFW real estate.
