I don't think I'd do that for someone for free either.For screening a PM though, I'd ask people I trust for referrals.

Even having the MLS access to see disclosure documents and agent-only comments could sway you one way or another on moving forward.Finally - if you don't or can't service someone but want to refer them to another agent (in or out of state), you can get a referral fee back (negotiable % usually in the 20%-30% range) to help offset those fees.

Hey @Keith Hoffman II, Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

There're such videos on YouTube and other platforms.Unfortunately we cannot direct people there because BiggerPockets would consider it self-promotion and penalize us for trying to share this knowledge.Would you by chance offer such things Michael? 

Don't throw away your snail mail and pay attention to the "promotions" tab in your Gmail, including the ads.Sometimes the best credit card signup bonuses are targeted (both paper mail and email) and will result in more bonus points than the offers you can find online.Also, if you have a Chase bank account but you don't have one or more of the foundational Chase cards (Freedom, Sapphire Reserve, etc.), walk into a branch and let them know you're looking to open a new card.Branches and bankers are obviously evaluated based on their ability to open new accounts, and they may be motivated to give you a special offer.For example when my wife got a Chase card she got double the sign-up bonus in-branch than what was being advertised online at the time.If they present you with just the commonly-available offers, let them know that you'll just open it online because it's easier and will result in the same bonus anyway.If it looks like you're going to walk away, the banker may be able to give you a better bonus in order to not lose credit for your account opening.Of course they may not have the authority to do so but it's worth a shot.

I have had some difficulty finding suitable agents, so I would greatly appreciate any referrals you may have.

Since I don’t give out referrals publicly, PM me to talk.

They're a referral from a trusted local contact and have good reviews.
