One of the biggest problems with searching for real estate on-line (just like anything else) is the reliability of the information one finds. Many of the large, national search sites do not update their listings frequently. Therefore, home buyers are searching and finding properties that are no longer available, or aren’t seeing new, fresh listings. It is not uncommon to find listings that sold months before. This can be frustrating and a waste of time for both buyer and Realtor®.
The larger websites offer bells and whistles that are attractive, but are not always necessary. If you live in Maryland there is one site that is the perfect combination of informative and accurate, www.HomesDatabase.com. HomesDatabase is the ONLY property search site in Maryland that is directly linked to the same Multiple Listing Service that real estate agents use. If a property is no longer active and available, it is immediately removed from the HomesDatabase site. This site also allows buyers to save search parameters and properties. Therefore, when a new property is introduced or an existing property has a price change within the buyer’s parameters, the buyer and their agent are notified via e-mail.
