The problem was that there were 4 or 5 other MLS listings within a few blocks that look like they'll be on the auction block next time around.

One of the companies I have been fairly happy with is in my signature block.

A fairjohnmichael: market value is usually not the price being asked by the owner or realtor.Dan_Auito: CMA's, past sales records, other recent sales on same block, sq/ft prices etcjohnmichael: How do you determine the fair market value?

I'm an investor, and I own a mortgage company with access to the MLS.If you're looking for the "right person" to get your deal done-----look no further.

Does anyone know of any website or other method of getting MLS access for free?

Taking the LLC approach has one important tradeoff that you should be aware of; access to high LTV loans (a majority of lenders cap lending to LLCs to 80%).

I don't know too much about what you're asking, but it seems that having a license would be helpful only because you would have MLS access, and could then do your own searches without the help of another agent.

How ethical is it to know there's a perfect house in the neighborhood a client want/needs and avoid that block just because it's a FSBO and won't pay 6%?

., etc.2 choices: Find another agent that isn't the idiot you dislike, or you wouldn't care it's with an agent.or:Get licensed, hang your license somewhere, and get access to the MLS yourself.Unfortunately, the real estate laws are what they are in each state.

We have easy online access to the MLS in the Bay Area so when I bought, I told my agent which houses I wanted to see regardless of what the commission might be.
