There's been a ton of conversation about this topic on BP so just do a quick search and you'll learn more than you probably want to.

You can then search and see what price properties are listed for sale at, what they're pending at, and what they sold for in that zip code. 

The same can be done if you use google docs, etc.

You can google for reviews to read what those who have used them think, to get insight beyond the hype of what the platforms themselves put out about themselves.

Search the forums for reviews and then reach out to people via PM to get the full story.

Do an MLS search for those that have been on the market for too long - then snag one.

In my search for properties, my goal has been to find what besides price is making a seller want to sell.

Use the Search feature that BP offers and look for local IN search results.

Have you done a search to see if there are any meetups of BP members in your local area?
