There's no reason for me to ruin anyone's reputation.

Great neighborhood, great school district, big house, rehab done very nicely (may be biased) working with a very reputable well known agent and it’s been sitting on market now for 40 days even with a price drop.

There are plenty of criminals out there, in all walks of life, from handymen, plumbers to street thugs, realtors and brokers.

They wanted a report from my plumber which basically said it was a faulty drain(not sure why they didn’t ask for that before the tenants moved out). 

So that's who cares, anyone and everyone who has any stake of any size in BP and the content we have lent to BP, our reputations. 

Someone pointed out that I call a plumber or electrician when one of my rentals has  issues and I don't try to fix it myself. 

There is also the local knowledge of a market like here in Lake Tahoe where lending can be trickier so an offer with a local lender might get chosen because they have a reputation to get a deal done vs a national lender that can have more red tape and a slower process. 

Other REIAs also.Get a list of subs for the trades;  a handyman (or 2) a plumber, electrician, roofer, flooring, painter....   

You could also reach out to a local, reputable, property management firm to see if they offer a la carte services for lease preparation, application processing, move in inspection, etc, if you are planning to self-manage but need some help with the more formal items.

I did basically push one incompetent appraiser out of the San Diego market because his appraisals were so bad he was getting the reputation he deserved (I won 2 large appeals and he left when I was appealing a third which sucked for me).
