you don’t need an agent unless you don’t have time to look yourself. just look up the houses ([realtor.com](http://realtor.com), [remax.com](http://remax.com), [forsalebyowner.com](http://forsalebyowner.com), etc…) then contact the seller or selling relator/agent yourself…cut out one of the middle men thats gonna want some money in the end my wife & i got our house with no agent…just found the deal & jumped on it. ---

My personal experience is go with the leading listing agent in the market you are looking in. Flipping is too much for me. . . tenants, building equity, and tax benefits are what’s working for me so far. ---

Agents have access to the MLS which is updated way faster than those sites you listed. Also my wife sets you up on a email alert, and whenever anything just listed matches your criteria you get an email. I know some agents leave listings on those sites so they get leads. Not using an agent can be risky. Real estate deals that involve no agent have a way higher chance of going to court over something. And only using one agent such as you stated isn’t the best thing either. A listing agent is supposed to represent their client. So if you come into the picture with an offer and no agent, who do you think the listing agent is going to represent? Their client over you. So in the end you may have not gotten the best deal cause the listing agent is representing their client and trying to get the most money for them. ---
