Can anyone suggest and agent or property manager that can help me with this?

I’m glad you were able to move on without signing, shows the agent understands/is a good guy/gal, or knows other firms wouldn’t require such a signature. 

As far as ARV I would find an agent who works with investors to work with you.

If the change has occurred and buyers are now doing this, surprised not discussed more  You as the buyer is paying for the agents commission one way or another , either by a higher sales price , or by cutting a check to your agent . 

If the agent is not working out for whatever reason, cut the tie and move on. 

I’m also glad the FCC is cracking down on robocalls for lead generation; it forces people to commit to real prospecting instead of cutting corners.Over the years, I’ve run a solid brokerage team, training agents and now I help people get into wholesaling.

I continue to wonder why Fair Housing has a provision for ESA which are not trained, certified service animals.

My piece of advice would be to make sure you have a great agent in your corner to help you assess the market, make informed decisions, etc. having a good agent can be day & nights difference when it comes to your experience.

Sure, being a RE agent is an option.

That way you'd get local contacts and there's no reason for anyone to hoard their insurance agent so they should be forthcoming.
