Dependency on the MLS
Why do so many investors treat the MLS like it's perfect? Even when sometimes it's an old listing. If the MLS really is this great I need to get my license. I had a guy fight with me on the phone for 30 minutes cause the property I had under contract looked different from what he saw on the MLS. I went to check it out and it was a posting from 42 months ago. This is why sometimes I don't trust Zillow as well, a lot can happen in "42 months". People buy homes all the time and change them completely in a year or less. I even sent him the most updated pictures on the property because I always have pictures for my investors and he insisted I was trying to waste his time. Currently working with the homeowner to try and find any agent she has worked with so it can be deleted. It's an off market property at the moment but I feel like once anything is posted on the internet it will always be traceable.
