I really wasnt trying to discuss the issues regarding th seller or buyers realtor, and who was oing to look out ofr my best interest, or simply looking at an MLS. My question was that there are probably a number of places that are not listed on the MLS, banks etc., and having soemone that is looking at the diversity of REO companies to find a house is worth something to me.
So if rustico, or SD R, or SDR, (or other seemingly decent realtors, of which there are probably many) are going to spend time or know non-MLS locations to find properties that are coming on the market, it seems worth something to me. That is more “complicated” than simply assuming all properties in an area are on the MLS.
There are bottom feeders everywhere, and there are people that sell houses, cars, mortgages, collect taxes, that are not. I prefer to stay our of the negative and simply try and get information to examine against my preconceptions
