Lead Paint Inspection/Deleading Information
2 September 2016 | 5 replies

Working With A Realtor....I'm Confused
2 September 2016 | 20 replies
I don't see any incentive for a realtor to run multiple CMA's for us on a weekly basis, if we are not using them to buy the properties because we are working directly with the homeowners and our cash buyers.I'm sure I'm missing a step or perhaps I misunderstood some aspect of running the numbers.I was under the impression (from our training) that Realtors would have no problem running comparable if we just ask them...but I just don't see why they would spend their time running comparables if they aren't getting compensated.So I'm hoping some investor friendly realtors (preferably in Topeka or Kansas City) can help clarify and answer this question for me.
