As you may have surmised from reading my blogs, I believe in investment real estate. I have personally invested in Northern Virginia and in markets outside this area. When I went to new markets it took me quite a bit of work to find an investor-friendly Realtor in that town.
I thought others may be struggling as well so I created www.outoftownlandlord.com. This is the only site I am aware of that matches out of town landlords and investors to a local investor-friendly Realtor.
We are adding several markets a month. (For a list of covered cities – see below.) For each market, I spend time going through dozens and dozens of Realtor websites. (Let me get on my soapbox. It is amazing how many Realtor websites are cookie cutter. So many have the exact same format AND the exact same wording. But that is a topic for another day)
When I find a Realtor who works investments and perhaps mentions they work with out of town investors I next go to the state licensing board. I want to make sure they have been licensed for at least 3 years and have not had any major ethics violations. And all of our agents have personally invested. Some are buy and hold investors. Others have flipped homes. But all have been part of the investing landscape.
While the minimum requirement is for our agents to have been licensed for 3 years, the average is over 12. And in 2017, they averaged over 35 transactions with 45% being investment-related.
I am selecting only 1 Realtor per market so they know that if they do not provide great service, they will lose their spot.
Check out the site and let me know what you think! If you are an investor looking to invest in a particular town and we don’t have it up yet, let me know. I will get right on it and find you an investor-friendly Realtor in that market.

Hi Joe,
First and foremost, I wanted to say thank you for creating this website as the content that you provide here is definitely invaluable to those out there that are looking to become out of state landlords and build a solid team that first starts with an agent that understands the investment process.
I am a new residential real estate investor looking to enter the Jacksonville, FL residential market in the immediate future. Would you be able to advise on an investor friendly agent in that particular area that can help source value-add deals?
I look forward to hearing from you and many thanks in advance.
Best,
Mery
Absolutely. I will be in contact with a name later today.
Thanks
