Many estate agents have access to the Multiple Listing Service is a list where all the properties available for sale in your area. This source of information is extremely good, but the search process can be very complicated.
To do this it is best to focus on the areas of properties whose price is below average, or homes that meet the minimum requirements, then we must be alert to opportunities. In general, these listings have “observations” or “comments” with interesting information, often with sentences how the list of point 1. With this data we know if the seller is flexible and can possibly negotiate.
By an obvious question a person who has a house 10 years ago and lives comfortably, is not the same as another person’s house and wants to leave the country or desperately wants to sell it for “x” reasons.

Choose an area of your city would like to buy your next property. Scroll through the neighborhood every week and stop at the signs of “sale” and ask for the selling price and how they arrived at that price. If possible, check how flexible it can be the seller.
