How often are listings updated?
Across the country, over 800 Multiple Listing Services (MLS) send their listing information and photos to REALTOR.com®. The MLS’s get their information from local brokers. How frequently the MLS’s send data varies from MLS to MLS. Most update on a daily basis, but a few update less frequently. Questions about a particular listing should be directed to the listing agent.
How do I change listing information and photos?
Listing information and photos can only be changed by the broker who owns the listing. Listing agents can change the information that appears on REALTOR.com® by changing the MLS data, which is automatically sent to REALTOR.com®. Brokers who subscribe to REALTOR.com® can change the information directly on REALTOR.com, as well as submit additional information, photos, virtual tours, and open house schedules.
How do I put a listing on the site?
Only brokers can submit listings to REALTOR.com® through their local MLS.
Why don’t search results match my search criteria?
With the exception of price, bed/bath and square footage, all search criteria are preferences. These preferences function like a sort criteria, putting homes that meet your preferences at the top of the search results, without excluding homes that only partially meet your preferences.
For example, if you selected pool and fireplace, the first homes displayed on the results page will have both a pool and a fireplace, followed by homes with either a pool or a fireplace, followed by homes with neither.
How do I find land or multi-family homes?
As you search for a home on REALTOR.com®, there is a page called Property Types/Nearby Areas. On this page you can indicate the type of property you are looking for, whether it’s single-family homes, condos, land, or multi-family homes.
If there are no listings for a given property type in the area you are searching, the option will not appear on the Property Types/Nearby Areas page. |
