There's been a lot of bashing of realtors on this board and often justly so. Today, I'm going to give a shout to my realtor. My rentals are in a different state cause I can't afford decent rentals where I live. So basically, she's my eyes and ears on the ground. Many here probably think that's foolish. But I have to say, I'm impressed. So she's done all the preliminary scouting for me. When I see a property I like on redfin. She's on it within 24 hours. It'd not like she's not busy, she did 30 sales last year(selling bank owned properties). She sends me a ton of pictures. She tells me if the place smells like dog. She tells me if the sewer assessments are paid up. She combs through the details of the purchase and sales agreements in more detail then I would ever bother. She tells me when she thinks a property is overpriced even when I'm enthusiastic about a particular property. Now we're waiting on a offer for a short sale which if I get, I'll be ecstatic. That's all.
