How much should I trust the comps I get?

[Rodney T.]

I got about 5 comps from an agent today. I understand that I’m the county it maybe hard to find good comparable data; and most of them seemed ok from a novice perspective but one of them was absurd. It made me concerned about the agents due diligence on the others. Without getting into it too deep or hiring an appraiser how do you vet good comps?
