They are gaining the trust of the homeowner by pretending to be an expert in their field and falsifying the info into their advantage so they can make money.  

This is definitely a place for lots of info. 

Really helpful info here... all around.I'm considering purchasing 'something like a 15 unit building' and I'm very early on in my learning, let alone beginning any sort of a actual search for the a building.

@Patrick PhilipI'd love to have his info.

Retail buyers get the same info at just about the same time as real estate licensees, and the listing agents are present at 99% of all showings so in most cases you're not going to getter better access to info or seeing properties.

Let me know if you'd like her contact info.

I left Tacoma in 2013, so my info is dated. 

@Ann BellamyAnn,Thanks for responding and providing the info on the local meetings.

it doesn't look like the info from the CALC was saved, is this just on my end?

@Kyle Bethune Don't really have enough info to make an accurate call.
