When you begin your home search most start on the web. A fast Google search will generate 1000s of homes for sale in your location. If you discover a home that you like on a real estate site you can almost always see the pictures online.
It is even becoming more common to take a virtual tour or see a video tour of the home. If you have bought a house prior to finding out the value of the home is not too difficult. You can check what the current owner purchased it for check the real estate taxes or have an experienced real estate agent run comparables. Basically they compare what has sold in that community that is of similar specification and can tell you with great accuracy what this home should sell for. While the ease of the internet is suitable and useful frequently you can be lead off target. The volume of information and difficulty of verifying its precision is a hurdle most would prefer a professional to handle. With so many resources to use online a home buyer will get overloaded with data that is often bad.
Even from the most trusted websites the information is often old within days. Real estate agents must secure a license in every state. A licensed real estate agent has access to data that regular people do not. The most up to date information on every house in their area. This database the real estate agents use must be kept up to date by all partaking agents and brokers or they will be fined. Often times they hold real estate information that has not even been submitted yet. This frequently happens inside of big brokerages where many agents work together to guarantee their buyers get the best properties in their area.
The database that real estate agents use is called the Multiple Listing Service or MLS for short. Every place in the United States has an MLS. While some MLSs cover more or less area depending on the number of residents of those locations. The primary purpose of an MLS is to allow participating real estate agents to make offers on homes to other agents when they find a buyer. The MLS home data is often available through other websites on the internet. Although there is no requirement of third party websites to keep their information updated and accurate for many occurrences for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) houses cannot be directly added to an MLS because the owners is not a participating member of the local Realtor association.
FSBO houses can be tough to find although web savvy FSBO homes are able to get the word out about their property nowadays.
What is a Realtor? frequently real estate agent and realtor are used interchangeably. However they are not really the same. A Realtor is a licensed real estate agent who is also a subscriber of the National Association of Realtors. Realtors are required to abide with a strict code of ethics and behaviour. Many real estate agents now have their own sites with their area MLS data shown. together with non-real estate sites that provide information on FSBO foreclosure sites county assessor sites and valuation and marketing information websites. The abundance of real estate data on the web makes sifting through and actually figuring out more difficult than ever before. Despite the mountain of real estate data available most properties are still sold through real estate agents listings on the MLS. With the rise of the internet the homes listed on the MLS are available for all to see. Gone are the days of print advertising. With so much real estate information existing it can be difficult to choose the best real estate agent for you. Many agents specialize in a type of property or in specific client. Choosing the one that best fits your requirements will allow for a easier home buying experience than with a real estate agent that you don’t get along with.
