DON’T PUT YOUR TRUST IN ZILLOW!

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.39.59 PMOne of the most frustrating things about being in real estate is all the weight people put on Zillow.  Zillow this and Zillow that….now, not to say that I don’t understand why people love to go to Zillow for all of their information….it’s a well laid out site with a lot of information, but many times, INACCURATE information.  Case in point, just this past week I had 2 clients in a panic over what they thought was actual information they got from Zillow.  One client saw that a comp sold for $208,000 when in fact (once I had a chance to look it up in MRIS) it sold for $275,000 almost a year ago!

Another one of my clients couldn’t understand why I wasn’t sending them all of the single family homes that matched their criteria but they were finding them on (you guessed it) Zillow.  One home in particular was listed on Zillow for $272,000 – I wish!  When I pulled it up on MRIS it was listing over $500,000, hence, not coming up in my clients search.  I called the listing agent and found out that the home had been to auction 2x already and was up for a third go around.  The last bid on the home was $420,000 and was too low.  Therefore, that is why it’s listed over $500k in MRIS and not matching my clients search.
One piece of advice I would give to everyone is take the information you find online with a grain of salt and DOUBLE CHECK it with your Realtor to be sure you are getting all the information you need to make smart decisions.
