THE MLS IS THE PLACE TO START

By: Sebastian Gibson

There is no better place to start than the MLS Desert Area for the
person looking to buy home or land. And on web sites such as
www.SebastianGibsonProperties.com, the Palm Springs MLS is
available for free to be used by prospective buyers or sellers.

With the MLS a buyer or seller of property in the area covered by a
multiple listing service can search for homes, land, commercial
property, property to lease or even investment property such as
apartment houses and duplexes.  Searches can be performed
specifically for the type of property by the number of bedrooms or
baths, the square footage, the price range, and by other factors.

Properties can also be searched for in specific cities, areas of cities
or even by housing developments.  Once properties are found, they
can be seen by pictures and sometimes by more extensive 360 degree
videos taken inside or outside of the house or condo.  The number
of days the property has been on the market can be seen as can the
history of the property which will show the price reductions, if any,
made by the seller.

A good agent or Realtor can also research the developments a buyer is
interested in to see which developments have the most properties for
sale, which developments or buyers are most desperate to sell (based
upon the descriptions of the sellerâ€'s motivation and price history) and
can also determine what reductions in the listing prices are, on
average, being accepted by sellers in a certain area.

Agents and buyers who have more experience with using the MLS systems
also know how to search for other factors by using the public marketing
comments sections to search for those aspects of a property that are of
special interest.  When one is looking for land, it may be vitally
important for the buyer to know if there are water wells on the
property.  The purchaser of commercial land or property may wish
to know it there are any properties available with railroad sidings or
spurs. 

There are different MLS systems for different areas of the State. 
In addition, there are other similar type of systems available for
agents and buyers to use to look for land, homes and other property
throughout California.  Unfortunately, not everyone lists their
property on the MLS systems or on the statewide web sites and a
thorough agent will need to check multiple MLS systems when looking for
that hard to find property.

In addition, some real estate brokerages prefer to keep their listings
to themselves and wonâ€'t list their properties on any MLS system
whatsoever.  In the opinion of this Realtor, this does no favors
to their clients and a savvy seller of property should ensure that the
agent or Realtor he or she uses will list their property on at least
one multiple listing service.
