The Power of Being Both an Agent and a Lender in Real Estate

Real estate is a complex industry that requires a diverse set of skills and knowledge to navigate successfully. That's why it's essential to have professionals who are well-versed in multiple areas of real estate, like Kahea Seitz. Kahea is a real estate agent, lender, and investor who has built a successful business by juggling all three roles.

In our conversation, Kahea shares her experience and explains how being both an agent and a lender can benefit clients and streamline the home buying process. She also emphasizes the importance of being passionate and dedicated to the real estate industry to succeed in multiple roles.

Kahea explains that being both an agent and a lender is legal and can be beneficial for clients because it streamlines the home buying process. As an investor herself, she also understands the ROI of investment properties and can provide valuable insights to her clients. For example, Kahea was able to help a first-time homebuyer explore multiple property types and locations, ultimately finding the perfect home. By being knowledgeable in multiple areas, she was able to provide a more comprehensive service to her client.

On the other hand, when a client wanted to buy a property in a location she was not familiar with, she referred them to an expert in that area. This shows that it's essential to recognize your strengths and limitations and work with other professionals who can complement your expertise.

Kahea also emphasizes the importance of building relationships and investing in partnerships in the real estate industry. As a real estate agent, she has set up her life to be flexible and accommodating to the needs of her family. She has built partnerships and invested in relationships so that she can refer out her real estate business when needed and focus on at-home work like lending.

When asked about her craziest real estate transaction, Kahea shared a story about how she closed a deal for a teacher friend while she was on a camping trip with her family in a remote area of Utah. She negotiated the deal with the selling agent in the middle of a reservoir using her laptop and a hotspot. She never met her friend or saw the house, but she successfully closed the deal and earned an $11,000 paycheck. This shows that with the right skills and dedication, you can succeed in real estate no matter where you are.

In conclusion, being knowledgeable in multiple areas of real estate can be an asset for clients. Professionals who can provide a comprehensive service and streamline the home-buying process are invaluable in the real estate industry. By building relationships and investing in partnerships, professionals like Kahea can refer out their business when needed and focus on their strengths. As Kahea demonstrates, with the right skills, dedication, and passion, you can succeed in multiple roles in the real estate industry.
