I am still a bit leery about Safeguard's relationship with this particular borrower and even the closing agent.

I don't know any investors who purchase without an inspection, though I hear about this mythical "no inspector" purchaser from time to time, by way of the rumor mill or pompous listing agent. 

If you want to be completely anonymous, you can use a Registered Agent.

Brokers look out for their clients, insurance agents look out for their job.

@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

We wouldn't advocate for them otherwise as reputation is everything in this business. 

He determined the price and terms for the property, and according to the agents involved, he consulted with accountants and attorneys before signing the contract.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

He seemed like a big-time agent who works with a lot of long-term investors.
