Gerard,

RP DATA is what most agents use. I also used to use Citec in my former office. However, bear in mind, the info i s3 months old and in a rising market like this, it can be misleading.

HAving said that the mind is the limit for rpdata.

if yoou’re going to spend $100k on property, don’t cheap out on spending $200 for the pest. not worth it.
