Having difficulty finding comps in a rural area

I am new to the investing world and am currently waiting on a yes or no from my first offer. I have found another house that has sparked my interest but I am having a very hard time finding comps to determine the ARV. I live in a rural area where there is a great deal of fluctuation in housing prices. Is there an easier way other than getting a real estate agent involved?

Just last night I found an article on BP about using Zillow to help find comps. That was a huge help. I am also very aware that Zillow is not the end-all book of knowledge. I love your idea. I can use that for a Zillow search then when I find a property I'm serious about, I can have my realtor send me his comps. At least then I have something to compare. Again, I'm new at this so should I be skeptical of my realtors suggested ARV or should I just go with it?
