Having/being your own agent

[Victoria Noska]

Hi BP peeps! I found a multifamily prop that I would like to move forward on. After doing further research, I found the current owner bought it in foreclosure for a steal. It's listed for significantly higher than its appraisal value and when compared to local comps.  Would I be able to work a deal with the agent that has the property listed? Or should I have my own (getting my RE license - be my own)? I just can't imagine one agent being unbiased with such a large price difference. Thank you!

Also, in West Palm Beach, FL if anyone is local!
