Thereโs a lot of confusion right now surrounding Zillow and MRED (MLS) listings, so hereโs the quick breakdownโฆ โฌ๏ธ
Zillow has filed legal action involving MRED, and as a result, many MRED listings are currently not displaying properly on Zillow. That means consumers are not seeing all the homes on their site. (Our KW listings are, however)
The A in โZillowโ stands for Accuracy. ๐ค๐คช
If you want access to ALL listings in one place, including Coming Soon homes (private listings) and accurate MLS data in real time, we can provide you with a free home search app that pulls directly from the MLS. ๐ฒ
PSA: Now for the consumer warningโฆ๐
A friend of ours recently clicked โTour Nowโ on a Zillow listing thinking they were simply scheduling a showing. Instead, they were connected with a random local agent they had never met. They unknowingly signed documents (never explained to them) that locked them into working exclusively with that agent for SIX MONTHS. ๐คฌ
They later realized the relationship was not a good fit and attempted to cancel. Both the agent and managing broker refused, essentially saying, โToo bad. You signed.โ (Surprising from a reputable area brokerage) So they are looking in different areas and will wait until it expires- all because this local agent wants to recoup the money he pours into Zillow, not because his mission is to help people find their home, even when it means stepping aside. ๐ญ
Please read everything before signing and understand who you are actually working with online. Not every click is connecting you to the best agent for your needs. A good agent should earn your trust, not hold you captive. ๐
The โIโ in Zillow certainly doesnโt stand for Integrity.
If youโd like a better, more accurate home search experience without the pressure tactics, message us and weโll send you access to the app I personally send to my clients. This includes all area homes including private listings!
