How do you coordinate with third party service providers (inspectors, etc.)

[Account Closed]

I am new to real estate investing and have a question.

It seems that whether you are an agent/investor or investor, a big pain for me is coordinating with all the service providers to a transaction (i.e. inspectors, appraisers, attorney, insurance, etc.).  When I enter a new market, I don't always know who to use (except referrals). 

How do you handle all these providers? (communication, booking, researching, paying)?  Is there a system out here?
