Know that in 2026, an automated home search is the bare minimum.
Your *real* competitive advantage is working with an agent who...
→ Can spot which homes have room for negotiating
→ Understands how to sift through clunky MLS search filters to find the hidden gems
→ Introduces you to neighborhoods you hadn't considered
→ Has a network of agents with off-market and coming-soon listings.
That's where you'll find the best outcome. Not by waiting for Zillow alerts.
