🚨 BIG NEWS IN HOME SEARCH 🚨
Think you’re seeing all available homes on Zillow? Think again…
Zillow can’t show properties they don’t have—and right now, they’re missing a LOT.
Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED), our local MLS, announced that Zillow refused to fix a major licensing issue. Because of that, Zillow and Trulia no longer have access to MRED listing data.
👉 That means fewer homes.
👉 Less accurate searches.
👉 Missed opportunities for buyers.
If you want the full picture, you need to go straight to the source—work with a broker or search directly through trusted platforms like ColdwellBankerHomes.com.
The difference in available homes? It’s bigger than you think.
