Tip #11: Verify Your Online Search

Verifying Your Online Search

Searching properties online can be a great asset. The tools that are available to the buyers and sellers such as Streeteasy, Zillow, Trulia, Apartments.com, Renthop, Naked Apartments, Craigslist and others provide great information for all consumers.

While these platforms can be very accurate, I highly recommend cross-referencing all of the information found online with the data pulled from the MLS (Multiple Listing System). A trusted Real Estate Broker can help verify all the listings to make sure they are still active and display the correct information.

The role of a Real Estate Broker has shifted significantly over the past number of years. The value a Broker can provide is not specifically finding the listings, but assisting with the following:

  • Reviewing and verifying all listings
  • Acting as a trusted confidante
  • Role of Real estate advisor and consultant through every step of the process
  • Introductions to key vendors and resources such as attorneys, mortgage bankers and Brokers, Title companies, contractors and more
  • Fiduciary responsibility
  • Negotiation and contract terms
