Mark Gagner and I talk about how he rewards his agents for doing so! This week I interview Mark Gagner of Bridge Equity Group. Mark and I talk about his path as a Silicon Valley tech owner to a property flipper/investor. One of the things that Mark prides himself on is his relationships with agents. He knows they are the life blood of his business. As a fellow licensed agent himself, he still chooses to buy and sell with agents as he understands the value of having professionals do what they do best! In this episode Mark shares some of the secrets of his investing, but more importantly he shares how he finds his deals, how he rewards the agents who find them and how he makes it a win-win for everyone in the process. We also delve into how agents can build stronger relationships with their investors and vice versa, as Mark truly believes that its important to be providing value to each other, and not just in the form of a paycheck. If you work with investors, are an investor or would just like to learn some tips on how to build stronger relationships with your preferred partners, then you won’t want to miss this episode!
