MLS Search

Many websites offer a MLS search.  These are great for looking for a home surfing around the cyber network.  However, you are limited to a ambiguous amount of information.  Most website searches don’t tell you how long properties have been on the market.  Some websites have expired, sold, and pending listings that show up as For Sale.

Oklahoma City has a very well put together MLS search for licensed Realtors that will allow searches to be set up in very specific ways.  These searches are programmed to eliminate listings from a clients preferences so that the client doesn’t have to wade through hundreds of homes that are not for them.

If you are looking for a home in the Oklahoma City area or anywhere else, contact a Realtor and ask them to set you a search up.  Continue to communicate with the Realtor and let them act as you Buying Agent or (Single Party Broker) until you get in your new home.

Your listing can be received in the form of a web site that allows you notification as soon as a property comes on the market.  It will also keep you current on properties as prices drop or go up.  It is very easy to call or email and ask your Realtor for more information or to see a property that interests you.  You also have the option to screen properties or add notes about a specific property as you see them.  You can categorize listings as your favorites, possibilities, or reject them.  Your Realtor can modify your search if your circumstances or wants have changed.

It makes it much easier and much more efficient than driving around and looking or trying to find a home yourself on a  conventional web site. 

A MLS search is a must if your relocating to another city and you have a limited amount of time or a long distance to drive.

We have shown many homes to clients in one day because of MLS searches are easily coordinated into showings by professional Realtors.  We have schedule many showings not had to show all of the homes because of the first homes was what our clients wanted. 

Feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about receiving a MLS search or have any questions about this simple home finding assistant.

Trulia Homes for sale are not always there

Trulia homes for sale are not always still active on the market.  It’s not Trulia’s fault, but it does cause some confusion to buyers.
I have been contacted by Trulia leads several times about homes in the last month, to find the property was already sold.
I recommend that anyone seriously  looking for a home, to work with a local Realtor in the area in which they are searching for property.  The Realtor can set up a search on Oklahoma’s Multi Listing System that will benefit the client in many ways.
The MLS system will immediately send the properties that are on the market to the interested buyer.  It will continue to do so for 180 days by default, and of course be extended as long desired.  You can opt out any time.
The MLS system also notifies the recipient each time there is a price change on a property, or pictures are added.  When you find a home, you can contact the Realtor that is assisting you and make arrangements to see the property or make an offer.
Today I researched 3 houses that a Trulia Lead was interested in, to find that they were all sold.
If your seriously looking for a home, contact a realtor today and have them set  you up a search on the local MLS service provider.  This is just one of the many ways a Realtor can serve you when it’s time for you to find a home.
Trulia offers some great information about areas, buying, selling, or statistics about homes.  It’s a great web site for those researching real estate.  However, when it comes time to make your move, I recommend you seek a professional pertaining to the type of service that you require.
Thank you for reading,

Finding the right home shouldn't be such a trick. Especially with all the sophisticated tools Oklahoma Realtors are paying for. Many times finding the right home is a challenge. Since the MLS system is no better than the information entered into it, specific scenarios won’t always yield the results that clients are looking for.

An example is: I’m looking for that dream home with a work shop, a pool, and cable available. Also it would be a plus if livestock were permitted. .75 to 2 acres. Somewhere on the west side of Oklahoma City, near Yukon, Mustang, or Piedmont.

After many searches, I have came close. My client knows what he wants and I'm pretty sure I know what he is looking for. Had all properties been set up correctly, it would have save us both a lot of driving and looking. Even after finding a property with the above anonymity's, we still need to find one that's priced right and has the features he wants in a home.

I'm thankful for patient clients. I'm also glad to see all these homes on the market. Even if there not for this specific client, they may interest someone else. Knowing more about properties is an asset to a Realtor. I know that these homes are for someone and that someday someone will buy them for their dream home.
