MLS access, scheduling and visiting homes without an agent license

[Prasanna K.]

I am a SFH rental investor. I have a wonderful agent I have been working with in Austin. However in interest of using both of our times wisely, I prefer to due some due-diligent upfront by myself. I am specifically looking for a way for me to do 2 things by myself

1. Access all details of listings in MLS, specifically disclosures (MLS access)

2. Schedule and visit homes (lockbox access)

Once I have narrowed down the home, from writing offer onwards would like to engage my agent.  Is what i am asking even possible without getting a license myself? 

I understand the above services are not free and so willing to pay for it and also open to be fingerprinted.

You need a license, it’s pretty simple.

Think about it for a second, could you imagine the theft and insanity if literally ANYONE could just sign up and gain access to listed homes with a lockbox. 

There are very common sense reasons agents, MLS, realtors exist.
