Since I am new to this I would love to find some local players to bounce ideas off of or even partner with on my first few deals.

There seems to be more real " players " here then on all the others and many are wiling to offer great advice . 

Last; we are coming to Brussels later this month and wanted to plan some meetings with a real estate agent, any tips of a great one (checking Immoweb and there seem to be a lot of players)Many thanks in case someone has some input.

This information is good when you want to know who the big players are.

My business model has been based primarily on marketing to probate attorneys for well over twenty years.It took something in the area of five or six years to really get the traction and momentum that built my probate liquidity machine into a dominate player in CA.

The main players stay to their geographic.

Sharon Vornholt, I hear that the MLS players are getting back into the DM market because the REO pipeline has dried up considerably.

Zillow, Trulia, and other are trying to provide knowledge to both buyers and sellers and to provide a marketplace for doing transactions directly.Realize too that like many other industries there are entrenched players that don't want this to happen.

It appears as though they forgot to buy the players.

Elizaveta VoloboevaThis is a very difficult perspective for new players to understand, and makes for excellent discussion.
