Newbie - best websites to gather comps?

[Kate Finnegan]

Hi all - 

I am a newbie in Nashville, TN who is currently researching renovations for resale. I'd like to do some practice runs with selecting a home and pulling comps, but I'm not a real estate agent and don't have access to the MLS. What are the best ways for me to do this exercise without engaging a realtor? So far I'm getting inconsistent postings across websites. What is the best way to see what homes in a similar area recently sold for?

Thanks!
