Jacob Weaver, Learn How to Work with Builders and Developers, Bellevue Washington

In this episode, Jacob teaches a masterclass on how to cold call developers, even giving up his secrets on how to find their contact information from public permit records. His technical background as an electrical engineer has taught him to think creatively and systematically, and he is very open with his journey to where he is today, leading a team of 9 and representing some of the nicest property in Bellevue, Seattle and Kirkland. With his partner Brandon Byrne, he now represents many of the new luxury single-family homes in the Seattle/Bellevue area, and has built a team to handle the retail business that has resulted from those beautiful listings. Jacob is a wellspring of creativity, and he can often find a way to structure a deal to make it win/win, even when it might seem hopeless to other brokers. In this episode we discuss: • Jacob's start in real estate, including his "lightbulb" moment that led to a career switch • How owner financing and creative deal structures can be a big opportunity in a changing market • How to cold call developers -- including an impromptu role-playing session • The current market in Seattle and Bellevue, and how it's changing • "Pick up your damn phone" -- how a personal touch can lead to better relationships with other brokers, and your clients • Advice for newer agents from a market-leading agent And much more. If you have a client looking to buy in Bellevue, Seattle or Kirkland, or want to talk about structuring a difficult deal, Jacob is happy to talk to you.
