Recommendation on how to find a honest,  agent in the Cleveland,Ohio area. 

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:Building a strong buyers list.Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

Now more than ever, I am seeing offers required to be submitted through a portal where the listing agents want no business being involved with up front negotiations.

By the way - for the same reason the 1st position lien holder will be uneasy with 100% CLTV, as a buyer I would be uneasy with it as well.

We (the buyers) notified our agent that the property must also be move-in-ready.We received images of the interior and exterior which showed the property in move-in ready condition/what appeared to be minimal to no deferred maintenance issues, the listing said "property inmove-in condition/turn-key".

That way you'd get local contacts and there's no reason for anyone to hoard their insurance agent so they should be forthcoming.
