Q. Are the real
estate listings online as good as the Multiple Listing Service
that realtors use?
A. Vellano Realty Group is a
licensed real estate brokerage company. Our Internet
real estate listings are made up of exclusive and shared
listings. These listings represent active clients whose
properties we are featuring to promote their sale. We
also have what we call "shared listings" that are
available for searching through the "Search MLS - Now" page on
our site. In some online real estate listings, you may
be shown some of the listings but not all of them, unless you
join the service as a member, and then you can see all of the
listings. Our site is provided to you free of charge
and we offer listings for the entire State of
Florida. Our MLS listing service reports are accurate
and updated daily. We are a fully authorized IDX
Realtor.
Q.
Are the listings shown on the Vellano Realty Group website
currently available?
A. Our
website's exclusive listings are always
available. MLS Listings are updated frequently
(usually everyday or every other day) But the web site may
also show real estate that has already been sold. This is due
to the lag time it takes to update web sites. Some real estate
agents may also keep old listings posted even if sold just to
get you to call them. If the offer is too good or too cheap,
odds are that it has already been sold and is just there to
bait you into calling them. Vellano Realty Group
makes every possible effort to assure that all real esate
listings on our website are current and
available.
Q. Is it important
to use a real estate search site that gets its information
from the MLS Multiple Listing Services?
A. Yes!
The MLS is the master list that realtors use to find newly
listed and available property. Our website
contains the most accurate and complete list of available
real estate. Many online real estate web sites do not get
their information from the most current MLS database.
Vellano Realty
Group is a licensed real estate
broker with agents who can look at this list every day for
you. Our web site is updated regularly from the
MLS, so we are a reliable source for esclusive
and shared listings.
Q. If I find a home
that I like online, how do I arrange to see it?
A. The
simplist way is to contact us by phone or e-mail with the
listing information. Our featured properties can be
referred to by location and offered price. MLS Listings
records all have a unique number. Just let us know the
listing # of the MLS Listing you are interested in and we
can arrange a viewing. Some online real estate web sites
will either charge you to become a member and then provide you
the phone number of the listing agent. Don't use these
websites. Vellano Realty
Group provides this
service free to customer prospects.
Q. OK, if this
is how real estate searches work, then why
shouldn't I just go to the MLS Public
website?
A. The
MLS Public website is not updated as often as the MLS Listing
service that brokers subscribe to. Vellano Realty Group is a fully
licensed and authorized IDX Realtor. We pay for this
updated service and make it available to you online. The
MLS Public website is not relied upon by real estate
professionals. It is provided to the general public to
generate interest in the MLS Listings
service. |
