Sounds like a lazy agent, you probably don't want him representing you anyway.

The listing agent represents the seller on a short sale, not the bank.

Thanks for the welcome guys, looking forward representing Chi-town well. @ Brain W.

They use some company wich represent their company.I won a bid, paid a downpayment then ordered a title from a reputable company my company would not insure the title then tried another title company they also said that foreclosure was not done correct and title wouldn't be possible to insure, however the title company offered by homesearch had no problem to insure the transaction.

As an agent who works in an office that represents HUD homes and has submitted many, many HUD bids, I always instruct my clients to bid the highest amount they would be comfortable paying for the property.

NYC has a very high price point, but if 5 crowdfund portals were to open and focus on even one neighborhood in Manhattan, that could represent 5M capital raised entirely by small contribution, of which that neighborhood would probably swallow up and ask for more.My point being, even the people setting up these portals can benefit and carve out a niche as 'facilitating brokers' as there won't be one dominating portal running the game like facebook or, shall I say ...biggerpockets?!

You could then list the property and represent at acquisition, doing it all while securing your cash investment and profits via the deed of trust.

Sellers pay the fees so I'd be able to represent you as buyer and mentor you as I believe I have a thrurough understanding of commercial real estate valuation.

Good to see NJ represented.

Only the owner can represent themselves in court.
