Mid Florida MLSIf you are searching homes on the Internet more times than not new listings the past few days are not visible.  Ninety-nine percent of Dr Phillips homes displayed on the Internet are pulled from the Mid Florida MLS feed. These websites can take days adding new listings, to long when you consider hundreds of buyers today are searching only 19 Dr Phillips homes under $500,000! 

You can do to two things today that will increase your efforts and beat out 80 percent of the buyer searching Dr Phillips..stop searching the Internet and find a local Dr Phillips Realtor. 

Realtors can see new listings the minute they’re entered in the MLS!  For markets with the low inventory of available homes, this is crucial.  Your Realtor has the ability to set up notifications on the MLS alerting you the minute a home is entered that meets your criteria, that can be a good few days before most of your competition sees the home. 

Second, make sure your new Realtor is a local expert.  Realtors experienced in markets many times know about new listings before they come on the market, we like to talk about our new listings among our peers.   

After 15 years in real estate most of my friends are Realtors or real estate brokers, just looking at my immediate family alone there are six licensed Florida real estate agents.  These types of connections help my buyers find great deals as soon as they come the market.

The two Dr Phillips homes below are only 24 hours old, I sent these and viewed them with my buyers yesterday the day they were listed.
