There are indeed some differences with the overall process as most real estate laws are more closely related to how things are done in Spain vs the US but most banks deal with the same players ( Fannie Mae,  HUD, VA etc) that you find in the states with a few twists..

If you are listing multiple properties at once, or perhaps this is your first sale, an agent can help take on the responsibility of marketing the property for you and potentially reducing the amount of time you have to spend handling these tasks.Sites like Realtor.com, Trulia, and Zillow are of course the major players in the real estate listing game, so getting your property into MLS will help boost its visibility tremendously.Make Things Clean and TidyThis may be an obvious one, but sometimes sellers will try and start marketing a property while repairs are still in progress.

I'd recommend networking with the the "big players" in the commercial market out there

I recommend setting up a keyword alert for "Turnkey" & "Pittsburgh" you will quickly see who the major players are.

A smaller player can beat the bigger players with this strategy. 

(although that data advantage is shrinking as the big national players get more aggressive)Especially when you are just getting started, it can lend you some credibilityIf you choose the brokerage you join carefully, you may be in a position to learn a lot from your teamAside from these, there aren't many benefits.

Our fixed players are the Management Company, the Lender, our Attorney and at least one partner.

If the market completely disintegrated from deflation, inflation, flu, war, drought.... we will be the small players suffering much less than everyone else.Frank

Take it slow, go to REIA meetings in your city/town, meet buyers and other wholesalers and be a team player, learn, but be weary of shelling out money.If you need help with "judging a deal", that was my main focus getting into this business and I'd be happy to share what I know so far.

I agree with you; much like football players who go crazy when scoring a touchdown, these folks should "act like they've been there before".
