284 - How to Access Your Realtor's Best Resource
Description
Frustrated with inaccurate listing data and endless spam when researching homes online? David reveals how first-time homebuyers can access the same MLS database that feeds Zillow and Redfin - but with better accuracy, privacy, and the ability to research homes without getting bombarded by sales calls.
Quote:
"These portals are genius... you keep everything in one place neat and organized, and all this comes with the one thing everybody needs when they're shopping for anything - you get the expert opinion of someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes the product."
Highlights:
- How does the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) actually work, and why do all major real estate websites pull their data from it?
- What makes the MLS more accurate and up-to-date than public real estate websites?
- Is there a way to research homes privately without triggering an avalanche of automated responses and sales calls?
- How can you access historical property data and neighborhood insights that aren't available on public platforms?
- What are "broker comments" and why might they matter to your home search?
