Many web sites will tell you the sales price of a home the last time it sold but it will be a slow, time-consuming process to collect that data and analyze it.I don't know what your time is worth but you could spend several hours (or more) trying to determine market value on a home whereas a good REALTOR could tell you in 30 minutes.

Inspection report revealed only a few cosmetic type of turn over issues but PM is taking forever to do anything about it.

Needless to say that's incredible time consuming and expensive to do.
