I always went above and beyond the typical agent duties by getting very involved in the due diligence, dealing with county/ city planning and zoning etc, for two reasons, because I loved it and to help ensure my deal would go through by providing as much information to my client as possible to help them make a quick and intelligent decision.  

People post when a deal they've submitted initially looked profitable but they don't know how to put together a realistic and reasonable scope of work for the rehab and we tell them we need that in place before we will even send evaluators out to look at the property.

@Greg Tomita Being inland in Eustis should help keep your rates reasonable compared to the rest of the country.

There is no reason for them to do so. 

Make sure you use a first class stamp for this reason.

I have a free and clear seller that is willing to sell me his property, but he doesn't want to close escrow until after January 1 for tax reasons.

I personally see no reason a selling agent with block someone from seeing a property, unless they had instructions from the seller to do so (and it was legal).

I'll PM you a contact, but he is in the same boat as everyone else - way to busy for small jobs unless there is a good reason he should do business with you. 

I think the current property sounds reasonably interesting, especially in today's overheated market.
