I did a bid for hotel rooms last week and got a great deal for me and the family.
I wanted to set 2 appointments to look at homes on Saturday. I filled in the online request form and I got a call from a real estate agent who was not the listing agent and knew nothing about the listing who wanted to take me as her client, but I wanted to deal with the listing agent. So, I called the listing agent and told her I had seen a sign in front of this home and wanted to see it it was back on the market, since I knew it had an offer pending on it about a month ago. She told me it has an offer pending and should close sometime next week. Why didn't Realtor.com show it as Pending? I then called the listing agent for the other home, and they said the same thing, it has a sale Pending... Realtor.com advertises that it has current and up to date information, but obviously it does not.
Tip for consumers:
Don't fill out the on-line forms to request an appointment to see a house, unless you want to be contacted by the firms who obviously pay Realtor.com the snag the prospects away from the listing companies. Be sure to ask what the status is before you look because they don't tell you if it already has a contract pending on it.
