I'm relocating back to the Michiana area and would love recommendations for a RE savvy Mortgage & Real Estate broker/agent. 

I will soon have my Provisional Broker's license, and she will follow soon after.

At the moment I'm calling NNN teams/brokers at major firms and asking for their current inventory that match my criteria. 

When I am seeking lenders that hold their own paper I (1) go to the local REIA and find out who partners and lends privately, but that will take some time building relationships (2) go to smaller more localized banks, not mortgage lenders or brokers as they by definition are selling their loans.I have also found that if you go to banks in smaller markets outside of the metro, where there is only one or two offices that you often deal directly with the bank president and can make some great loans and connections.And I just posted this on another question - but go to local REIA meetings, meetups and the like, talk to people, vendors and build relationships and you will be able to get some great referrals - just like here at BP, only live and face to face - I think there is even a live BP meeting in Waldo this week? 

Only comp available as well as brokers report shows one similar four unit selling for 50K less.

Broker specializing in investment sales and property management.

If a realtor is calling you then the sellers have already signed an agreement with him, with his broker actually if you want to get specific.

Talk to as many lenders, mortgage brokers, small banks, and family members as you need to.

I wouldn't recommend getting a license unless you are looking to primarily become an agent/broker.

@Charles Coaston, I would contact a mortgage broker in your area, and get a second opinion.
