Was this agent the listing agent or just a general agent only representing you?

Josh Adamo While doing your research on the decedent and the Personal Representative (Executor or whatever this person is called in your county) make sure to also cross reference the address that you get from the probate system with the system of the county assessors webpage or the site that gives property info in your county.

Post something on CRAIGSLIST that you are seeking a realtor to represent you in multiple deals and that you are an active investor.

So far what I have been doing is going to:http://ma.mypublicnotices.com/Then I look for recent probate petitions by a personal representative.

They will put a photo of a nice looking building on the flyer and then it says in small print (representative photo).

As an Investment Consultant, we are currently seeing spiraling trends here with this company that is requiring investigation on behalf of our Company and our Clients we are representing.

Now if you intend to possibly keep the property and later instead decide to wholesale it, I don't see that as dishonest as things can change, but what you represent initially should be what your goal is going into the deal.Some people do advocate the "keeping the seller in the dark" approach, personally I don't feel it's the correct way to do business though legally there is nothing preventing you from doing so.

The community here is quite vast and the wealth of knowledge (and just flat-out wealth as well, now that I think about it) represented on this site is not only impressive, but extremely inspiring for an aspiring person in the realm of real estate, such as myself.Okay, so who am I?

I feel that if someone is ignorant enough to use an email that represents their lack of culture or civility I don't want them residing at my property

If the seller refuses you are happy to get an agent to represent you!
