How to Search for Real Estate

Homebuyers can get so caught up in the search for the perfect house that they’ll stay up late at night scrolling through internet listings on sites like Trulia or Zillow, Here are the top 2 reasons why that it is a waste of time:

1. SLOW SEARCH RESULTS

It can take OVER A WEEK for new listings to show up in these online searches.  By the time you see the listing, there could already be one or more offers on the home of your dreams!

2. BAD DATA

At least for now, New Braunfels’ local MLS does not interface with Trulia and Zillow, meaning that listings on those sites are not updated.  So! over 1/3 of the listings that you see “For Sale” there are not actually for sale.

So what do you do?

We advise homebuyers that want to search online to use these other more reliable options that will give them a competitive advantage over those who are searching sites like Trulia or Zilow:
