Adam is correct that an Independent Agent (representing multiple markets) would be your best option. 

I would bear in mind whether there are any single major employers and/or industries that represent a large portion of the employment.

However, in multiple recent experiences in my operations working as an active real estate agent, I’ve represented several customers working to sell their homes who have ended up not quite as lucky.While I am not an attorney and am not qualified to give legal advice, I can certainly disclose some of the knowledge I have gained from these recent transactions which end up in binder disputes.

Seller was represented by an attorney and I represented myself.

Seller was represented by an attorney and I represented myself.

When I was licensed in GA and wholesaling, I just did not represent any parties to the transaction.

I located deal and am the buyers agent representing purchase, investing $500 earnest money and $5,000-$10,000 as gap funding for repairs and will split the listing 50/50 upon completion!

I was to bring some cash to the deal, as well as represent the buyer and listing on resale.

What doesn't seem toget many mentions is the SECguidance that: "...a person seeking accredited investorstatus by passing the Series 65 exam would also need to be licensedas an investment adviser representative in her state...".I asked the largest investment verification platform about this aswell and the response seems to confirm that: "...the investormust have their license currently registered with a State to be ingood standing...".

The lender will need to open probate and have a personal Representative assigned.
