I don't have a local loan broker but have a local realtor/broker. He is a friend. He's awsome.

At the biggining, I thought the same as Nota, why pay extra for a realtor. I can do the search myself. I know some basic stuff and can read the advances... but he didn't charge he at all. If I get the house, he charges the seller, and offer me all his knowledges and tricks. Why not give him a try. It turns out that he knows a lot more than I thought. All I knew were a lot less than basic. He has been teaching me not only on how to look/search, but also how to evaluate the house/property, pointing out tricks other sellers/realtors are doing, suggesting on managing money/fund. I know you are smart and don't need all that but sometimes a pin point/reminding helps. If you interested in talking to him, PM me.
