The big names usually have a lot of training, but the mom and pop offices may have better one-on-one experience.

If you look around your neighborhood and see the same brokerage listing everything, then you may want to check them out.  If it's a mixed bag, then start interviewing offices and see one that fits your needs.

Also, it really-truly doesn't matter which brokerage you go to.  This is YOUR business.  You're just parking your license with a brokerage so you can collect commission.

If you want to be successful then you have to make yourself successful.

 Thanks for the response. I am not an agent i am looki mg for an investor friendly one. I guess the one on one experience is what i am lookign for. Someone to cater more to my needs and can work around my schedule as opposed to their own.

Would you say that actually visiting the property, getting scope of work for improvement would affect thoe numbers? And to get down to it ARV is based on opinion and market, isn't it? So which numbers do I use to make my flip analysis?

is it better to work with a small real estate agency or well known/large one? From life experience sometimes the  old family business small businesses work better to achieve quality vs. quantity. Is it the same working with real estate agents working for a ReMaxx vs. Uncle Joes Real estate Co. 

Who is more NEWBIE investor friendly?

Trying to understand the formula used to get comps for my first rehab. I have two real estate agents give me comps on the same property and there was a $30k difference. I used Redfin, Bank of American Real Estate Center, zillow, trulia...my own estimate came close to one of the agents give or take a few thousand. Should I get a 3rd opinion? 

Any input would be greatly appreciated

So welcome to BiggerPockets first. Congrats in making the move. Sometimes change is hard. What a great place to network and get encouraged. I am from NY and currently live in Southern Virginia. I have wholesaled in NY and lightly in VA but am looking to rehab my first project. I do know of a couple of investor friendly realtors as well as wholesales too.

You can connect and find more of what you are looking for on this website though. Looking forward to connecting and networking

Good Luck and happy Investing
