Q. WHAT SPECIAL RESOURCES DO REAL ESTATE AGENTS HAVE TO
LOCATE PROPERTIES?
Buyer’s Agents have access to Off-Market and Coming Soon listings as well as local knowledge from sellers, other agents and neighbors. They also have back end access to the MLS which provides additional details such as uploaded Seller Disclosure Notices that reveal key info about the property. In addition, searching the MLS is a skill in itself as many times data is entered incorrectly either by accident or intent which results in properties not appearing in the results pages despite qualifying for your search.
More important however is access to exclusive PROPERTY EVALUATION tools as finding a property that SEEMS great is just the first step. Professional Buyer’s agents like Texas Ben for example have access to:
- actual SOLD prices in the area (Texas is a non-disclosure state for sales data)
- zoning of surrounding parcels (to ensure your views last and undesirable neighbors remain away
- ownership info of surrounding parcels (to be able to contact with questions or partial acreage purchases)
- ownership info & details of the Target parcel (to see who owns it, how much they likely still owe, etc)
- flood zone info (including maps of where on the target parcel is flat, dry and buildable for expansion)
- boots-on-the-ground analysis (as well as professional Inspectors to verify all Claims)
In short, finding a great-looking property at a fair price is just the key first step. It takes a true professional to help ensure it’s ACTUALLY worth the money, has no ugly surprises and will fulfill your needs both today and into the future.
Q. WHY WON’T THE MLS SHOW ME ALL AVAILABLE PROPERTIES?
This is primarily due to 3 reasons:
–data being entered incorrectly into the MLS can often cause results errors
–sellers who wish to keep their property listing private
–the MLS does not show For Sale By Owner (FSBO) properties
Q. WHY WOULD A SELLER WISH TO KEEP THEIR MLS LISTING PRIVATE?
This is due to several potential reasons:
–Privacy and confidentiality
–Avoiding disruptions from showings and drive-bys
–Market testing for price and desirability
–Greater control over who buys the property
–Legal reasons usually related to estate planning
