The word kickback has such a negative connotation. There are different scenarios and people have different levels of sophistication and different needs. As a buyer, it almost always benefits you to use a realtor, especially one on his own turf, look for one that can tell you the square footage or model layouts off the top of their head and look for a good negotiator, not just a pretty one (my personal weakness).

For short sales you “need” one. For organic sales, you “should have” one. For an REO that you found yourself in your hood that you are familiar with, with multiple bids, they can be a handicap because their commission comes off your net offer, they can slow you down and about all they can do for you is the negotiation which doesn’t really exist with banks, they aren’t going to fix it or change it, they just look at the net offer. I spent a few thousand hours educating myself about r/e, I found the house myself, but in the end I still had a buddy in the biz proofread my stuff and take a look at my deal, I’m still paying him off in alcohol. I didn’t get a kickback, I used the listing agent, had them write a fraction of the normal buyers comission and it sweetened my net offer. I did try to get one of the piggy realtors to handle my deal but the three that I trust and have had a drink with (a prerequisite for my business, sd, SD and urban) all work too far away from me, so I went it alone, but i don’t reccomend it for most scenarios or most people.

redfin and other kickback realtors will not allow you to tour or make an offer on a short sale, they are just too much work. http://www.redfin.com/buy-a-home/short-sales

patent guy, good guess, fairly accurate, the air in temecula is unique. It worsens as you go north of Murietta. It has a unique microclimate because of the rainbow gap (a sea level notch in the mountains north of pendleton that blows sea air and sea gulls into the valley every day, usually in the afternoon). It is also the reason that they grow grapes here, hot sun, low humidity and cool breezes. The grapes stop about mid city, north of there the temps rise and the breeze lessens.

here is a little info on the micro climate, scroll dow to the climate part.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temecula_Valley_AVA

it’s a narrow swath, on a hot day you gain 1 degree almost every mile as you move north, by the time you hit elsinore is 10 degrees hotter and temec gets mist or fog in the mornings (I actually think the indian name is valley of the mist or something like that), we don’t have much, we get beat up on the boards, we aren’t on the coast, but we get it’s air, so we got that going for us, which is nice.

However, if they build that granite quarry in fallbrook/deluz, it may change the game, the cool wind comes through there almost year round, a quarry on the wind route may blow dust this way. There is so much passion and so many lawsuits on both sides of the quarry argument that I’m not sure what is fact or fiction, it’s ten miles away but there have been numerous experts on both sides claiming everything from nothing will change to visible dust. More than likely it will only affect northern fallbrook (avos) and southern temecula (grapes) if it has an effect, oh and of course me, since that is where I am at and I am the only one allowed to screw up the air with my cigars.

with regards to the actual question posted by the OP, there are three big foreclosure tracking pay sites (it look slike there are more but some are powered by the data from others), we’ve debated the discrepancies many times on older threads and the owner of foreclousure radar has dropped in a few times and made some arguments.

There is a big college football game on today so my time is limited as I need to get my chores done so I can begin drinking at 5 when USC/OHIO ST starts so you may have to search the old threads yourself.

You can trust them and you need to be skeptical of them, using a single zip code, foreclosure, foreclosureradar and realtytrac will have wildly different results, sometimes they have twice the listing of another site. They leave alot of orphaned data on thir sites because there is so much data and moves so quickly. Some do not remove nods that have been remedied, some keep nots or foreclosures listed long after a new person has bought them. All three miss some foreclosures that are real and vacant and for sale. Just understand that it is an automated system that is not hand checked or entered, so consider raw data that you need to check on your. You can do this in person, by checking the tax roles and doing a grantee search. I personally feel they all leave more data on their sites because the more that are listed, the more likely it is you will subscribe.

I’ve found that the one you listed to be the more accuate of the three but I only search a single zip code so that trend may not carry over to other areas.
