(FYI, this is their first year of tenancy.)We'd LIKE to place the home on the market (vacant, which is easier for agents to show/sell) sooner than August 1st (or so), in order to take advantage of the summer "buzz".My question for you, is how would YOU go about "breaking the ice" to them? 

In the words of the great prophet Jimmy Buffett: “…it’s a jungle out there kiddies, have a very fruitful day…” Hey Brandon Turner You were such a good-looking lad – what happened...:):):) See what we do out here Chris?

Here are my thoughts and relevant information:Agent- How do I search for agents that are well seasoned in investing?

In my mind, going overboard in decorating ONLY makes sense if you don't intend to sell (as is the case you have described)....so you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors (and money spent).

@Matt LiuWhen you use theDiotemacous Earthyou must use the food quality variety, that is used on fruits, vegies and grains and it will be non-toxic to humans.

I got my license because I had to deal with too many liars & incompetents for agents.

The fruits of this labor would produce options.

You're right in that it is easier for agents to locate the foreclosures as we have access to the various systems where they are listed and we are excluded from any 'advertising bans' of their status, so if you're looking to pursue them you should definitely connect with an agent.

We are specifically looking for Agents/Brokers/Attorneys etc.

Like planting seeds that come up later and bear fruit.
