How to Find a Home in Today's Market
- Send your agent to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).The
Multiple Listing Service or MLS is a complete searchable home
listing database available in most areas of the United States
to Professional Agents. Your Agent should have access if the
service is available in your area. Your agent can search the
home listings using the following categories;
1. Address
2. Region (MLS regions of City)
3. Price
4. Photograph
5. Utilities (Central Heat, AC, Central Vacuum)
6. Amenities (Bedrooms, Sq. Ft., Bathrooms, Etc.)
7. Annual Property Tax
8. Current Financing (when assumable)
9. Listing Company
10. Listing Agent
- Check the internet. For internet searches go to your
favorite search engine, (LYCOS.COM, EXCITE.COM, YAHOO,COM) and
just type in your destination plus homes or relocation. Start
to develop your own list of things you would like to see in
person and give those to your agent.
- Check the Paper/Magazines. Many people check through
the Real Estate section of their local paper. This is effective,
however not all properties on the market are listed. Send for
Local Homes Magazines. Most large areas around the country are
serviced by at least some type of “HOMES” magazine that lists
local hot properties. The printers of the magazine will happily
ship you a copy of the last couple of issues. Simply give them
a call at 1-800-753-3643 or
