The cheapest, fastest way to pull comps

[Kyle Soudalan]

Being a software engineer that has invested in rental properties for many years, I am working on a service to aid myself to quickly and easily pull comps. In the meantime, I wanted to understand how agents pull comps today.

What is your strategy for pulling comps? How long does it take you on average? Where do you collect your results (json file, excel spreadsheet, custom software, etc.)? As much details as you can share would be great!

Ideally I'd like to build something that real estate agents can use. I've encountered issues with my RE agents pulling comps in the past, so I see this as an area we can greatly improve upon.
