:)I'm sure you'll be very successful either way Raquel :) Just don't drink too much Oakland or West Oakland Koolaid at the wrong price ;) @Arlen Chou has been drinking up, but at a very reasonable $/sqft and on reasonably realizable income (and with much more financial capacity, no offense), so just remember there are economic cycles, plans that don't always come to fruition, and West Oakland is certainly not immune to those dynamics IMHO...

I look over the listing and in the body of it, he tells agents to send all offers to a different realty company, not xyz realty.

Sell a kidney,  testicle and any other extra body parts to get the down payment myself. 

@Victor Boctor I think your question is very location specific, as the governing body issuing the license dictates whether it transfers or not.You will need to check with whoever issued your license, in your local area.  

No body wants their aged parents or grandparents taken advantage of by a slick talking fraudster.  

But that's business you make money but probably the previous owner made money too, so is a circle every body win until the circle is turning all the way around lol

For example, I get alerts for this thread, because one of the user's last names is Augusta (it's not in the body of the forum):https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/313806-newbie-living-in-indianapolis?

well, any papers filed by the bank foreclosing will include the name of that bank and the property owner and probably the property owners new address. there, you have all you need to know. if it is not in foreclosure, ask the property tax authority who is paying the taxes and maybe where they are paying them from. lastly, ask the neighbors. every neighborhood has the " neighborhood busy body" that knows everything about everyone. find that person. then look up the owners name on the computer in google. i personally have found several people this way. 

Seller is short-changed as the final Buyer was willing to buy direct from them.Seller now is receiving less for their home (even though it is a short-sale, they maybe on the line for the balance difference with their bank).In the end, the agent is going to work in the agents best interest to try to find a Buyer so they can exercise the option contract rather than working in the Sellers best interest.As for the LLC, agent should have to disclose on any contract if they are a partner/member in a LLC or Corp, so I think this would still be a conflict of interest and not be in the Sellers best interest, thus the local governing body of Realtors would make this practice illegal (I assume).
