Day in the Life of an Investor Advisor at Sundae

At Sundae, Investor Advisors play a huge role in managing relationships. Here’s an in-depth look at what it’s like to be an Investor Advisor at Sundae.

Real estate investors fuel the demand for off-market home sales. Investors vary widely in expertise and exit strategies. Some work as individuals, while others may work for larger companies. While one investor may plan to rehab and sell, others may have a different exit strategy in mind. Regardless of the strategy, investors need to have access to properties.

But how do investors use Sundae’s Marketplace? Who do they interact with? What resources do they have available to them?

This is where Sundae’s team of Investor Advisors steps in. This team was created with the sole purpose of helping investors on our platform be successful at every stage of their process.

In this article, you’ll learn who Sundae’s Investor Advisors are, and how they help facilitate a key part of our operations.

Before joining Sundae, he worked as both an investor advisor to another real estate company and as a senior asset manager at a national home loan company. This prior experience equipped Tristan with the technical skills required to succeed as an advisor here at Sundae.

As one of Sundae’s Investor Advisors, Tristan’s group is a one-stop-shop for all things related to money. This includes underwriting deals and working as a team to ensure the happiness of both sellers and investors.
