In your case there is no harm in shopping around for a firm that matches your needs as far as size, expertise and billing structure is concerned.

What kind of harm could happen as a result?

I feel for everyone involved, and hope this wasn't something malicious, or that the reason for eviction wasn't for the manufacturing of controlled substances (Meth or Hash).

Nothing was in writing yet, so no harm no foul, but owner decided your idea (sell the property) was a good one, and the agent found another buyer, for more money. 

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

To me, it conjures up visions of trying to do it as fast as possible, which anyone who knows how involved things can get, would mean cutting corners, taking the easy way out on issues that pop up (and they always pop up) as well as those stupid TV shows that show people doing the renovation process at light speed and making boatloads of cash on it.Now, you will NOT find any links at the bottom here for some "go fund me" account for my "operating expenses" since I've set my budget at $0.00 nor will I be hounding anyone to hand out leaflets or "manage the North Carolina division" and thus committing lots of time, I'm not asking for any time or any money, I just am asking everyone to consider IMMEDIATELY ENDING all use of that term, I not only see absolutely zero benefit from it, I see lots of harm as I'm also the broker who sells these homes I renovate and have taken far too many calls where the buyer's agent who's looking to just set up a showing time, has one question for me "Is this a flip" and it is ALWAYS said with a sneer that says it all to me, that we're cutting our own throats with that word!

If not, walk, no harm no foul, shout out of your lungs.

I'm still not familiar with Boise, but I do know there is no harm in laying the groundwork.

Even if they put you in a situation that could cause you harm later on.

I mean no harm.
