When is the seller required to de-list MLS real estate?

Posted on October 4, 2010 by admin| 7 Comments

We have had a signed sales agreement on a property for two weeks, deposited an earnest deposit, took care of the home inspection and appraisals and noticed today that the MLS listing is still active. No mention that the property is under contract.

The seller informed us this week to our surprise that there was another offer on the house, which obviously came after our agreement and as a result of the failure of the seller’s agent to de-list the property. When is the seller required to de-list the property from the public MLS?
Public MLS meaning realtor.com. This new offer (if real or not) drives us a little bit in a pickle, because now the seller refuses to fix all the problems based on the new offer that have been found to satisfy the township inspector, which are approx. $5000.

According to my realtor, the lockbox has to be removed and the property is not to be shown to other interested parties once the property comes ‘under contract’. None of this has happened since.

How to reduce the price of home already on market?

Posted on September 30, 2010 by admin| 14 Comments

I’m considering reducing the price of my home that has been on the market for 3 weeks with more or less no response from the market (not one prospect has asked to see the house, other than at open houses). My agent blames the Labor Day weekend and back-to-school preparations as having keeping away prospects. Anyway, I’m not so sure, and want to ask for your opinion on how I should reduce the selling price. Should I announce, “Price Reduced!,” on MLS and place a little sign above the for sale sign in my frontyard as many sellers do? I am concerned that this approach may give the impression that (if I’m reducing the price of the house after only 3 weeks) there is something wrong with my house, or that I am desperate and may even reduce the price further, and keep prospects away.

Is their a way to search homes for sale by MLS?

Posted on August 24, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I am not a realtor, but was wondering if there is a website to search MLS numbers for homes for sale here in Tennessee. I would appreciate any information- without contacting an actual realtor.

Is there a service (like MLS) that Realtors will use for listings?

Posted on August 20, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

It seems that not all Realtors or Brokers use the Multiple Listing Service for their clients. Sometimes, I have to log directly into a website to get to a property and sometimes the MLS number is there; sometimes not. Some websites I use that use the MLS database system will not pull up some properties, but if I directly key in the MLS #, then the property will show up.
Is there only MLS, or are there other major Real Estate databases being used out there? I’m not talking the “for sale by owner” type. I’m looking for land lots and acreage, and some properties just do not show up unless I do some search into the tax records for ownership, and try to aquire info that way.
Thank you for your insite!
