Maybe the seller is in a position to get whatever they can get for their house and not have to deal with working with an agent OR maybe the seller wants to work with an agent because that's what they're comfortable with and they feel as it would be less of a hassle than someone like me.At the end of the day, I truly believe that all of this falls on the integrity of the person.

Hi,My mom is interested in selling her second house FSBO and asked me if I would be willing to post the house online, field phone calls and schedule the showings, be there when buyers come to look at the property, etc. to help her out since she is quite busy and out of town often.

Everything is in line with the closing with all parties involved so it's just a matter of the day arriving.In this case, would you all list the property online and start collecting applications making it clear that move in wouldn't be for four weeks?

Or my property management website (rentecdirect.com) allows for online payments by card or ACH. 

For example, I am currently looking at online REEBroker for brokerage service that offers a fixed $500 fee per transaction. 

@Chris Williams Well, you can find data online showing RE trends, incomes, employment, etc.

There are means to research through municipal records even online and just find the demographic and of geographic area you’re looking for.

Please also do your research to make sure you've explored all your options and looked up any "professionals" who are offering to help, online.

I've only been talking to couple people and researching online for couple weeks.

With online forums it is much easier to invest out of state and out of country these days.We manage 1,000 properties and almost 50-60% are out of state or out of country investors buying in Texas.
