If the agent didn't procure you, there shouldn't be any look-back regarding a commission.

As a HUD authorized Brokerage in Florida, we assist Investors in procuring both HUD and non-HUD properties.To that end... if you want to be successful, one of the things you need access to is a great Title Company to do your closings.For years, we have been using Jordana (Dani) Angles at Central Florida Title, LLC, the Manager of their Clermont, Florida branch.She has been doing HUD closings for 20 years as well as all the different "flavors" of deals that investors can cook up, and does it quickly and seamlessly.

Seems like California appetite is larger than ever out here...always curious to see where folks like yourself are buying properties, and who you are using with boots on the ground out here to help you procure them.Best of luck!
