As you know reputation in the broker side is everything. 

-Amount of Liability (buy the max - it's only a few dollars per year)-Water & Sewer backup-Ordinance & Law Not to mention the company's record/reputation/history of paying claims!

I would also reach out and vet a few contracting companies and choose someone reputable and you can trust (Call references).

So getting 200k home for 140k is no longer the case as people are more aware.Also companies like Open Door, Knock or even Zillow now offering direct buy with no showings, hustles, etc. that just makes is too easy for anyone in distress to sell to a more reputable source then just someone who sent letter.I was just curious if you are seeing the same trend or if just something i made up in my own head :)

I'm trying to find a reputable smaller company and avoid the "Roto Rooter" type shops and their extortionate prices.Thanks!

You certainly do not need a real estate license.This means getting your credit score in order and finding a reputable mortgage broker and realtor that will guide you through the process and buying at a fair price.Do not overcomplicate things in your head or you will still be learning 5 years from now.

How’s their reputation and do you recommend them?
