Need comps, do I have to go through a Real Estate agent?

[N/A N/A]

Hi All,

I don't mean this in a negative way, I am looking to get comps in a certain area. As far as I know you usually get those from a Real Estate agent right?

I don't have a Real Estate agent that I work with yet, and what I am looking into right now has to do with auctions... so I feel like I would be bothering a Real Estate Agent to ask for comps if I didn't plan to go through them.... right?

How else can a person go about getting comps in an area if not through a Real Estate agent?

Thanks!
Steph
