◆ The sourcer's journey · deals to fees

You live or die on the strength of your deal pack.

Your business is finding deals, contracting them, and presenting them to investors and lenders — your fee lands only when the deal completes. Every stage below is your working week. Scroll, and walk it with the Eye.

01

Find the deal

Searching, agent relationships, direct-to-vendor letters, auctions. Volume is your edge — but volume without filtering wastes your week on deals that never stack.

Where AssetEye fitsThe free 25-question Deal Triage checklist filters your pipeline in five minutes per deal — so due diligence time only goes on deals that deserve it.
The pipelineTen leads. Two worth your time. Which two?
02

Due diligence

Sold comps, refurb scope, planning position, title queries. This is where your reputation is actually built — because your investor will re-check everything you claim.

Where AssetEye fitsThe 10-section assessment checks the deal the way a lender's underwriter would — evidence gaps, refurb reality, exit viability — before your name goes on it.
The building16 years on the tools reads what's behind the wall.
03

Make the offer

Your offer number comes from the stack — end value from sold comps, works at trade rates, your fee and the investor's margin built in. Offer with evidence and negotiations get shorter.

Where AssetEye fitsPriced risks become negotiating leverage — documented evidence you take to the vendor to justify the number.
04

Secure the contract

Lockout, option, or assignable contract. The clock starts now — every week between contract and completion is risk you're carrying personally.

Where AssetEye fitsA validated deal moves faster. The report pre-answers the queries that stall solicitors and surveyors mid-transaction.
The paperworkThe stage where weak packs start to wobble.
05

Present to investors & lenders

Here's the truth from our messaging: your investors are going to ask about the GDV evidence, the refurb cost source, and the exit viability. If your pack can't answer, your credibility pays the price.

Where AssetEye fitsAn AssetEye Deep Review answers those questions before they're asked — a professional third-party document sitting inside your pack. That's the difference between "trust me" and "check it yourself."
The presentationThird-party validation beats first-party promises.
06

Completion → your fee

The deal completes, the investor is funded, and your fee lands. Then the flywheel: an investor who bought a clean, evidenced deal comes back for the next one.

The compounding effectEvery validated deal builds your book. Sourcers who send evidence-backed packs stop chasing investors — investors start chasing them.
