@Mindy Jensen Whether representing a buyer or a seller, it's cheap insurance - for ME.With an estoppel, nobody can claim that I misrepresented anything. 

I let the planet know I am the investor, I am not representing anyone, it is my own money and that is why I do not have to be licensed.

A lot of agents will be representing the bank and not necessarily the owner.

Most listing agents that represent foreclosures are experienced and always looking to develop relationships with local investors. 

I am a relatively new realtor and I am representing myself. 

Email & call the personal representative - in this case, the conversation is all about getting in front of them; get in front of them & make an offer... 

I'm a Realtor and represented myself.

I track a couple lenders closely, the ones I most commonly use -- I track live pricing for realistic deliverable scenarios representative of my market, not whimsical fake scenarios featured on internet mortgage ads.Yesterday to today change.

We never really figured out why it was on the market for so long, but we speculate that the seller may have been less unwilling to come down on price to something more representative of market.

Some brokerages allow you to activate your license with them Without joining the MLS, etc...which is geared toward agents seeking to generate referral fees just like in this case, without actually representing clients in the traditional sense.
