i have occaissionally been contacted by letting agents / estate agents over the years ,
but they always want it now or on their timescale , so unless you are not busy and prepared to work like that , then i wouldnt bother !
however there is nothing stopping you directly canvassing houses with , for sale / to let or sold signs up !

I am on an estate agents approved list of contractors, the work is very sparse, maybe Im too expensive  ;D

I get the occasional call from an outgoing tenant, problem is the agent covers quite a large area and most tenants dont want to pay the additional cost for that travel. Sometimes theyre closer and thats fine as theyre generally good earners but it doesnt happen that often.

I used to get a bit of this work 'cos i knew the girls behind the desk. Good money if you do end of tennancy cleans because they just take it out of the outgoing tennants deposit. I charged double my normal price every time. Trouble is they went bust a couple of weeks ago :(
