Finding good comps/accessing MLS without RE license

[Jonny Schnaible]

Hello,

Looking for a little advice on finding good comps in my area. I looked into getting a RE license, but this means hanging my license with a broker, and kind of defeats my purpose of RE license and trying to avoid paying additional closing costs. Aside from finding a RE Agent willing to share their log in info, is there any way to access MLS, or find good comps?

Thank you for your time and insights!

@Jonny Schnaible huge liability in someone sharing the MLS access, plus ARMLS violation. If you want the next best thing to MLS access, try Redfin. They have some of the most relevant, timely, and RE information out there. Very robust website and with a few clicks you can get a lot of MLS info for free. Combine Redfin, Zillow, and Trulia you can piece together some pretty accurate comps and gather a lot neighborhood information.
