People use the internet for just about everything - searching for real estate is no exception. In fact, 95% of people begin their home search online. Since you're likely to start there, we thought we'd offer some advice to help you avoid the pitfalls others fall victim to.

• Use your local Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

• The MLS is the most up-to-date and accurate online resource available.

• It's the site professional real estate agents subscribe to in order to stay informed.

• Be careful with Zillow, Trulia, and Home Search.

• Because these sites don't get their feed directly from the MLS, they often have houses listed that are either sold or under contract.

• They sell your information to local agents and lenders, so the person you call may not always be the listing agent.

Ultimately, if you want the best real estate experience, there is no better option than working with a professional agent. No website has all the information and resources that a local Realtor does. If you have further questions about using online search tools, or are interested in buying or selling a home in the Morely area, feel free to give me a call. I'd love to help.
