Searching for homes online can fun and informative but often downright confusing. Where do you start, what websites are updated daily, what agents are updating their listings and how do you find out additional information that is not listed on a public website? Some of the best places to start your search are big named search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.
For this example let's use Google... When you type in "reston homes for sale" Google will search the internet to find the most relevant websites that display homes for sale in Reston, VA within the "organic search results" (as opposed to the paid advertisements up top and to the right of the page on Google). Among the top of the organic search results you will find Homes.com which you would think would have the most accurate listings available considering it's name. When you click on their link on Google it will send you to their page where they display "Featured Listing". Many of the "Featured" homes have been manually added by paying real estate agents to get maximum exposure for their listings, but many of them have either sold or had been taken off the market and are not currently for sale. These are just lead producing avenues that many agents put into place to gain buyer requests from the internet that do nothing but irritate a serious home seeker.
Another way to find listings through Google by using the search phrase "reston homes for sale" is by clicking on the links to the far right hand side of the search results. These are paid advertisement that many agents use and can pay anywhere from .20 to $20 per click. You will find the bigger named companies up top and the smaller agents last in the list of paid advertisers. Many of these ads are not relevant to your search for "reston homes for sale" and often you will end up lost in cyber space or reading their website which describes how many homes they sold in the 20 years they have been in real estate and their favorite foods. What most home seekers are looking for are active listings, addtional info and nothing more!!!
What people deserve these days are real time, accurate and updated information about property listings direct from the local MLS database. Cutting edge technology like I use on www.JasonDemers.com only displays the most accurate and timely information available today and not one old or inactive listing. You won't find any information that is not real estate related and our team of agents are all full time professionals. All inquires we receive are handled immediately, thanks to the large investment we have made into our technology during the past three years.
With all the technology we have at our disposal these days home buyers are expecting quick responses to their housing needs and continued follow up from an agent who can help. If the information your looking for is not publicly displayed (due to local MLS regulations), just send me an inquiry and you'll receive a Full MLS Consumer Listing email which will give you the most updated and detailed information on any home including local homes that have sold or may be new to the market including many foreclosure steals. You can search for accurate listings at any time by visiting my site at www.JasonDemers.com or send me an email and we'll do the search for you.
