Many home buyers spend countless hours searching through various real estate websites, hoping from site to site hoping to find that hidden gem that everyone else has missed. But here's the truth: almost every real estate site pulls the same data from the MLS through an IDX feed.
Despite what these sites might claim about having faster access, they all face the same access restrictions to IDX data. This means they're all generally fine, but none are truly exceptional. There is certain data that the MLS doesn't share and is only available to agents. So, while enjoying your time browsing Zillow or any other site, it’s crucial to have an agent by your side to ensure you don’t miss out on something great.
This is where Compass stands out. In addition to accessing the same MLS data, Compass offers exclusive listings and off-market properties that you won’t find on other sites. I also maintain a proprietary list of available properties that are off-market. These hidden gems can be the key to finding your dream home.
If you're serious about buying a home, let's work together to leverage all the tools at our disposal, including Compass's exclusive resources. Don't rely solely on public listings – let’s uncover every opportunity and find your perfect home.
