When you start your home search many begin on the web. A fast Google search will generate 1000s of homes for sale in your location. If you find a house that you like on a real estate site you can almost always view the photos 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 worth of the house 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 area that is of similar specification and can tell you with amazing accuracy what this house should sell for. While the simplicity of the internet is convenient and helpful frequently you can be lead astray. The amount of information and difficulty of verifying its accuracy is a hurdle many would prefer a professional to deal with. With so many resources to use online a home buyer will get overloaded with information that is often bad.
Even from the most trusted websites the information is often outdated within days. Real estate agents must secure a license in every state. A licensed real estate agent has access to information that normal people do not. The most up to date data on every property in their area. This database the real estate agents use has to be maintained up to date by all participating agents and brokers or they will be fined. frequently they have real estate information that has not even been published yet. This often happens inside of big brokerages where many agents work together to make sure their buyers get the best homes available.
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 population of those locations. The primary purpose of an MLS is to allow participating real estate agents to make offers on houses to other agents when they find a buyer. The MLS home data is often accessible through other websites on the web. Although there is no need of third party websites to maintain their data updated and accurate for many situations for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) properties cannot be directly uploaded to an MLS because the owners is not a participating member of the local Realtor association.
FSBO homes can be tough to locate although internet savvy FSBO homes are able to get the word out about their house nowadays.
What is a Realtor? Oftentimes 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 member of the National Association of Realtors. Realtors have to abide with a strict code of ethics and conduct. Often real estate agents now have their own sites with their area MLS information shown. Along with non-real estate sites that offer information on FSBO foreclosure sites county assessor sites and valuation and marketing information sites. The abundance of real estate information on the web makes sifting through and properly figuring out more difficult than ever before. Despite the flood of real estate data available many houses are still purchased through real estate agents listings on the MLS. With the rise of the web 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 hard to choose the best real estate agent for you. Most agents specialize in a type of property or in specific demographic. Picking the one that best fits your needs will allow for a easier home buying experience than with a real estate agent that you don’t connect with. All established agents will have reviews available online for you to read through as well.
