I am a real estate agent working out of Georgia.

When you say no with a pit in your stomach and your claim is denied, you'll wish you got the CO.BTW I'm an agent and I live in Howell if you need any help. 

I am a real estate agent and investor in Boise and owe a lot of my success and growth to this community.  

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

Contact Peter MacKercher He's a local real estate agent and investor in St.

I am not a real estate agent and do not have access to the MLS. 

I ask because although I've read that you can have success here and there with the MLS, it just seems to me it would be really hard considering the market exposure and then having to include, at minimum, the listing agent commission (assuming you could negotiate down the portion that would have normally gone to a buyer's agent).

You definitely need someone qualified, does not have to be a CPA, could be an Enrolled Agent or an attorney.

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

I'm looking for a investor friendly agent who knows Newark, east orange and jersey city.
