I'm still glad I got my license for the access I have to any MLS listed properties (smaller multi-family and single family) - just glad to not have to use a middle man to view the properties, access info, and of course benefit from the commission.

Upon searching for a given city, you can view lots of helpful demographic data like renter occupied % rate for an area, poverty levels, median household income, % of jobs per a given sector, and much more. 

But now you have discovered valuable knowledge: the seller's urgency (or lack of it) and his view of the worth of the property.5.

Then I called my agent and told her to set up viewings and made offers on a couple and got one accepted.
