Quote from @Esta Ryder: I have four thoughts to share.1- You can bid higher than list price.  

@Esta RyderI really appreciate your perspective here.

@Esta Ryder said it very well.Another strategy I like to use when finding a great contractor is to filter to sold homes on Zillow, look at some rehabbed homes that have sold, and pick a few that look really good, reach out to the owner or agent and ask for the contractors info!
