Finding, developing and maintaining a 'brand' is hard and time consuming work.Let me turn the question around; As a seller, why should someone pick one agent over another.

Depending on where the property is and the lender involved, and what he has told the lender, and so on and so on, you handle things accordingly.

My point is this, I am actively involved/advising this investor, providing local vendors contacts (handyperson, surveyor, painters, etc) and I "don't wait for them to call me", I call them weekly. 

It’s doable, just more difficult, time consuming, with a lot more “contacts” needed for each “sale”. 

This allows you to test all the systems and the people involved.  

I think it speaks volumes regarding your care to the situation the heir is involved in.

@Brad Kanouse I have an idea that doesn't involve drawing from your IRA.

Plus new folks do a very poor job of screening the buyer for Ability To Repay (ATR) which involves pulling full doc and calculating the borrowers DTI, honest income, honest debt payments, prior debt payment histor (FICO) etc etc.Plus shockingly (or shocking to sellers) if you bought this investment house, fixed it, then are selling with financing you are selling "inventory" and y9ou owe taxes on the gain in the year of sale, you are NOT able to use installment sale to spread out paying taxes. 

In the Bigger Pockets free book, "Real Estate Rewind", as one of the 11 co-authors I wrote about one such Tax Sale purchase and made money but not enough money to warrant the risk involved.

I just want to be involved and learn more so I could achieve more eventually.
