If you want to learn investing go to a financial planner, sit down with them, take a few hours to learn all your options. Then just leave, no need to sign on with them, you can invest yourself.
If you want to find the price of your home get 3 Realtors to come do a market analysis. It doesn't matter that they do this with the understanding that they are competing for your business. You can waste their time. They have nothing better to do than trying to make a living. They don't mind working for free, I'm sure.

I totally disagree. Most real estate agents are happy to do a market analysis for free for the opportunity to introduce themselves, to educate themselves about the market, and to make a sales pitch for their services. Even if you don't sign a listing contract with them, you may refer the agent to a friend, or you may eventually decide to list your house after the FSBO effort fails. It happens all the time.
