In today’s changing real estate market, accurate information matters more than ever.

Apps and websites are tools — but they should never replace professional guidance, local market knowledge, and real-time MLS access.

If you have questions about how the Zillow/MRED situation affects your home search or sale, I’m happy to help explain what it means for YOU specifically.

05/24/2026

🔍 BUYERS: If you’re only searching on Zillow right now, you may be missing available homes.

Some Northern Illinois listings may not currently appear due to the Zillow/MRED dispute.

To avoid missing opportunities:
✔ Work directly with a REALTOR®
✔ Request MLS auto-alerts
✔ Search multiple platforms
✔ Stay connected for off-market and coming-soon opportunities

The best homes often sell because buyers had the right information first.

🎯MYTH vs FACT!!

MYTH: “If my home isn’t on Zillow, nobody will see it.”

FACT: Your listing is still syndicated across the MLS network and can appear on many other real estate platforms.

MYTH: “Zillow IS the MLS.”

FACT: Zillow is a third-party advertising portal. The MLS is the professional database REALTORS® use to share listings and cooperate on sales.

The MLS powers the real estate market — not the other way around. Don't allow big companies to dictate your sales proposition.

Want direct MLS access? Message me and I’ll set up a custom home search.

🏡 SELLERS: Don’t panic if your home isn’t showing on Zillow right now.

Your property can still receive strong exposure through:
✔ MLS distribution
✔ Realtor.com
✔ Brokerage websites
✔ Agent-to-agent networking
✔ Social media marketing
✔ Direct buyer outreach
✔ Email campaigns & open houses

Zillow is ONE website — not the entire real estate market.

A strong marketing strategy has never depended on just one platform.

Search homes for sale, new construction homes, apartments, and houses for rent. See property values. Shop mortgages.

🚨 IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE UPDATE 🚨

Zillow is currently no longer displaying MRED listings on Zillow and Trulia due to a dispute involving listing display policies.

What does this mean?

🏡 Some homes listed in Northern Illinois may NOT appear on Zillow right now.
📲 Buyers could miss available homes if they rely on Zillow alone.
📈 Sellers may worry about online visibility.

The good news? Homes are STILL being marketed through the MLS, Realtor.com, brokerage websites, agent networks, social media, and thousands of other real estate platforms.

This is exactly why having a knowledgeable local REALTOR® matters more than ever.
