Figuring out ARV without realtor?

[Ben Frink]

Hows it going folks?

So the title says the question. im aware of the process to get the ARV but am I able to get the figures of homes sold in my zipcode without the assistance of a realtor?

I recommend that you don't "interview" agents. Just talk to them and see if there is a natural fit. I have experienced this a few times from the broker side.

When interviewed by a new investor conversations have never gone well

Interviewers have ALWAYS failed to be honest about their skill level/ability and have NEVER defined their tactic or goal. I will not waste time with people like this.

If someone came to me to talk about real estate, told me what they want to realistically achieve and have a plan to get there - I would help that person with all my ability.

Know what you want and then just speak with agents to discover commonality. This is key to establishing a successful relationship.

Otherwise, interview and hire an agent with a fee for service agreement.
