The agent is there to help you facilitate the transaction.  

We also have had our agents list as a "facilitator" too in our state.

I would threaten the agent up one side and down the other with every legal action you can take since the agent is acting now as a facilitator and (i don't think they can anyway) cannot represent both you and the bank.

Get some third party price opinions and then get a lawyer to facilitate the transaction for you.

Yes many have jumped in and done well without such, myself included in that list, but also most if not all of those instances there was some kind of experienced advantage that facilitated that success, again myself included, I was a building professional for over a decade. 

Auction.com is a servicing company that facilitates trustee sales in different markets. 

Once it went over 5, you had to get a GC to manage the project and facilitate the work of the subs. 

Or are there any software tools you can suggest I'll facilitate this dilemma?

So, you probably want an agent who has experience with the investment strategies you plan to pursue.Also, IMO, successful investing requires an agent who facilitates a strong due diligence process, and who has the ability to see opportunities that other buyers miss.

... just a (volunteer) study group facilitator (how many "gurus" have local communities AND study groups?).
