I think if you intend to engage the services of the real estate agent later in the transaction - in other words, there is an assumption of payment - it would be fine to reach out for comps.

It's lucrative for the real players and devastating for the dabblers.

Thanks all for the welcome, looking forward to engaging in the community here!

That means engaging with an attorney to do their part in court, and with the sheriff to do their part physically removing the tenant.

So excited to start engaging more with the community!

I'd love to meet some new people.Thanks and look forward to engaging with the BP community more!

We essentially were paying for real life education on how to be a big player in the game.

Those who remain interested and are willing to fight for your business or at minimum stay engaged, are the type of people you want to work with.In terms choosing an agent, explain to the others that you've connected with someone else who you feel is able to help with your needs (if they even follow up). 

That being said, larger players like List Source, etc. probably pay the county a fee for accessing their interface and quite possibly are given a different interface to use so they don't disrupt the website / interface meant for the general public.

Engage with the seller, get a purchase agreement and the private money lender a basically handle the rest.
