Step #3: Execute
Within the investment marketplace this is where the "Big Boys" play. Typically a pre-existing relationship needs to exist in order to these types of deals to emerge. Any agent can show listings from MLS but The Pizycki Team chooses to keep a "Private Off Market" deals list.
From time to time, The Pizycki Team will try to find investment properties through Realtor.ca but the "Off Market" approach is preferred for many reasons.
After pre-qualification, The Pizycki Team will give you preferred access to off market deals.
