Finding a Realtor for the right Price

[Peter Fennig]

So I'm just starting to get phone calls in my market area where I'm looking to wholesale in. The first few weren't promising, but recieved one yesterday that might be a possibility. I live in Fort Wayne IN and my county has a assessors website that shows similar sold properties that show up in the market area of the property you're searching. The problem is that most the sold comps are over a year old due to the fact that the website is updated only a few times per year. I'm going to start calling realtors today to find out if any are willing to do more recently sold cash comps for me, and my question is how do I go about doing that? I have no problem paying a finders or assistance commission, but what should that commission be should realtor agree to help? All together, how should I approach the realtor and what should I offer price wise?
