This would involve some online research on their part and talking to me on the phone. 

For some reason I can't tag him in this text here but you can search for him online pretty easily with that unique last name.

Looking for free or cheap paperwork online is not the route to take.

Any brokerage can be the right fit for you so long as you commit to taking initiative and putting in the work.By 'work', I mean income-producing activities (lead generation and follow-up) i.e. cold calling, door-knocking, contacting your sphere of influence, networking, hosting open houses, running online advertising, marketing (paper or online), or anything else that will get you in front of prospective clients.My first broker rarely answered my phone calls and by the time she responded, I'd often already have the answer I was looking for.

After getting fed up with the property managers I started managing, repairing, maintaining, leasing the properties and collecting rents using online tools like thumbtack, Angie's list, Rentsavvy, Apartments.com. 

If you're trying to do something online or through a call center, yeah, it could be more complicated but just be open about your situation.
