Now I dont know if the boards review will be comprehensive or name sake , But it is definitely worth it .If I were , I would not try to deal with this first agent as a compromise , especially as you dont have a positive feeling , there is a very good chance he could screw you in other ways .

Our agents rep REO properties as well as retail properties.If you have some time in the coming weeks we should meet for a coffee and I can give you an overview of the market as well as help point you in the direction of lenders who might be able to help you based on your needs.Additionally, you might consider joining the Mid Hudson Valley REIA.  

My favorite so far has been redfin.com, and still navigating har.com and realtor.com, and other comp resources website I still need to check outI even found out other one but our paid memberships which I might get in the future after I get pretty savy with the redfin, har etc....the one who are wondering about the paid membership one I found is called www.realquest.com .. check it out for more comprehensive advance searches I believebut  hey I came across this ARV which I think is outrageously high (which is 525k), compare to what the asking price was (which is 290k), I done my diligent on the property and ran several comp and I came with ARV of 350 max (keep in mind it could possible sell for a little more) but i think she should sell somewhere around 240k -245k (keep in mind i never factor in my repair cost in yet because haven't seen the place in person) they place look like its in pretty good condition , it just needs an up to date appeal (Ill show pictures) One sec) which i think would be about 20 k judging from the picture.

estoppels... checkdeposits... checkleases... checkutility bills... checkYou could probably read the Ray Alcorn article I posted a link to earlier and develop a comprehensive checklist from that.

We're actually planning a comprehensive review soon, but obviously I hope those who use the service jump in with their thoughts.

My refusal to get involved in laying out a comprehensive marketing plan is because whatever I say regarding who to market to, how much you should budget and what medium you should use is because what works for me in my market most likely won't work for you in your market. 

It really was a great overview of all aspects of real estate. 

This is a quick overview as I could go on...

We do this all the time I think this is the way to go. http://www.xactware.com/en-us/solutions/claims-estimating/xactimate/28/overview/
