How do you pay realtors for comps?

[Harvie Arington]

It seems to be the consensus around here that using comps is the best way to determine the value of a property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so the MLS is the only way I can think of to get the comps. So here's the question, if you're not an agent, how do you get the comps from the MLS? I don't imagine there are many agents who will do this for free and their 3% commission would take a huge bite out of an assignment fee. What arrangements do you fellow investors use to get comps from agents? How do you agents here want to be paid?
