Met someone who takes photos for preservation companies. She sent over a lead today.

She will be able to enter the house to take pictures soon.  

My question:

Is this a good connection to have made?   

Is she legally able to share photos and her opinion on the condition of the property before the foreclosure auction? 

She travels 300 miles a day taking photos of foreclosures and pre-foreclosures. 

What would be the best way to leverage this relationship? 

We are in Texas.

@Josh Farrer I would be very carful here Josh. I own a preservation firm that works directly with banks, the gse's and HUD. She is not only breaching her contract with the preservation company she may be breaking privacy laws as well. Ive heard of inspectors being prosecuted for selling this type of info. Again I would advise you to be very careful with this type of a relationship.
