  • More Deals, More Repeat Business
    Work with investor clients, who often buy and sell more frequently than your typical home buyer and seller. Real Estate is a relationship-oriented business and fostering relationships that yield more frequent deal flow is a winning strategy for keeping your pipeline full. Investor deal structures such as fix-and-flips, subdivisions and development, also often involve multiple transactions within a single project.
  • Hands-On Training & Mentorship
    Learn from experienced investors with $10M+ in assets through hands-on training. Avoid common pitfalls in your own investments through mentorship from those that have been there and built their portfolios from the ground up. Education will be provided on subjects ranging from investment analysis, construction, lending/financing, and various brokerage topics and deal structures.
  • In-House Construction & Development Team
    Gain exclusive access to our construction and development team—a valuable resource for you and your clients to avoid properties that could become "money pits". Identify potential issues early, help clients budget for renovations and development projects, and leverage expert insights when negotiating repairs. With our team on your side, you'll be better equipped to advise clients on smart improvements to make before listing their properties.
  • Direct Access to Leadership
    Don't get lost in the crowd at a big firm where the owner doesn’t even know your name. Here, our owners are more than just mentors—they’re accessible for guidance and could become your clients when you spot the right opportunity.
  • Building Your Future Listings
    Earn additional commission with our unique construction referral program, which pays our agents to bring in construction business. Stay involved throughout the process as BETTER builds your future listings for you. Our focus on the build-to-sell model can create a snowball effect for your business. Find some land for subdivision, collect a construction referral and then list the properties on the back end!
  • Multiple Income Streams
    Not only can you create multiple income streams through our construction referral program, but we can help guide you in your own investor's journey. Generate rental income by putting everything you learn at BETTER into practice and investing your earnings to build wealth for yourself. Learn about different investment structures, roll your commission into deals, and take advantage of a wealth of knowledge around you to obtain financial freedom!
  • Get Your Expenses Covered
    Have the burden of overhead costs lifted from your shoulders by following our plan for success. Let BETTER cover the bill for expenses such as MLS Dues, Association Fees, Continuing Education, E&O Insurance, and more. And you can forget about desk fees—we don't have those here. Come work for a brokerage that is invested in your success!
  • Networking Opportunities
    Attend BETTER-hosted investor events to connect with and nurture your leads—we’ll help you cultivate them from first contact to all the way to the closing table. As a Platinum Level strategic partner at TREIA, one of the area's top real estate investment groups, we’re deeply involved in networking opportunities to help you meet more potential clients.
  • Industry Leaders in Investment Strategies
    At BETTER, we’re leading the way. We stay ahead by adapting to new building codes and market shifts, creating innovative investment strategies for our agents, clients, and ourselves. We were among the first in Durham to pioneer the "small lot" strategy when the rules first came into effect. Work with BETTER to stay informed and turn that knowledge into an advantage for you and your clients.

What Kind of Investor Are You?

Active Investors
Passive Investors

Active Investors are hands-on and directly manage their investments. They find deals, secure financing, oversee renovations, manage tenants, and handle operations.

Passive Investors take a hands-off approach, investing capital into deals managed by others, such as syndications, REITs, or private funds.

Active Investors dedicate significant time to sourcing, managing, and optimizing their properties. It can be a full-time or highly involved side business.

Passive Investors spend minimal time on their investments, typically reviewing opportunities and receiving returns without daily management responsibilities.

Active Investors have full control over decisions, from property selection to renovations and tenant management, allowing them to maximize returns but also assume all the risks.

Passive Investors trade control for convenience, relying on experienced operators to manage the asset while they focus on other priorities.
