Comps

[Ricardo Acevedo]

Hello, what is the best way for me to research or outsource the researching of the comps around a potential deal that I would like to wholesale. I am fairly new to researching comps and have been using zillow.com, trulia.com, and home.com. There is sometimes a significant difference between home.com's "Off Markest Estimated Value" and zillow.com's "Zestimate". I do not have access to the MLS. Should I have a real estate agent research the comps instead? and what immediate forms of payment would I gave an agent besides a future referral or comission?

Thank You

You should definitely have a realtor do it. The pseudo mls websites are known to be wildly inaccurate. as per compensation? I would think that varies by market/broker.

There are also companies that you can find online that will do bpo's for a fee, however they are less accurate then having a realtor do a full cma, but better than a pseudo mls.
