Searching MLS for Portland, ME

[Wayne V.]

I am looking for houses in southern Maine around Portland as potential flips. I'm a GC with many, many years of rehab and new construction experience. I am developing a good relationship with a realtor in Portland who is sending occasional possibilities but the process is slow and tedious. Is there a way that I can search the MLS without a realtor's license for potential properties and then send the MLS listing # to him to pull the data on the listing? It just seems it would be a lot more efficient because I know what I'm looking for. What level of licensing is required to have access to the MLS in Maine and are the regulations state based? I assume they are.

Thanks !!
