Marietta,
GA, (November 3, 2004) – According to the National Association of Realtors,
70% of all home buyers search the internet for home listings at some
point. While most people choose national sites such as Realtor.com to
view listings on the internet, many of these people may not realize
that it can take several days for new listings to appear. Additionally,
once the home is under contract or sold, it may take several more days
before the listing is actually removed.
This often
leads to a sense of frustration for home buyers. Many local real estate
agents solve this problem by pulling information on homes for sale directly
from their Multiple Listing Services (MLS) and updating the homes for
sale data on a daily basis. Sanford Rosser of RE/MAX Communities in
Marietta Georgia says, “Saavy home hunters know the best homes are often
sold quickly – sometimes within 24 hours of hitting the market. We recognize
the importance of updating our site daily and showing every home for
sale from all brokers, not just ours.
As a result,
we have noticed that a few of our clients have been able to beat other
buyers to new listings and often save money by acting quickly and avoiding
those awful bidding wars.” Typical internet home shoppers want to see
properties that they can buy today while not wasting time looking at
homes that have already sold or giving out personal information. Rosser
added, “The ability to find homes for sale on the internet has placed
more demands on local real estate professionals to provide consumers
with accurate and relevant information.
In addition,
people are increasingly hesitant to give out their name, address, e-mail,
or phone number just to see what’s on the market right now. By offering
a less personally intrusive, more relevant, and more comprehensive home
search capability using their web presence, local agents can make the
home buying process less frustrating for their clients.”
