Use the Right Tools If you are looking for a great way to increase your stress level and prolong your searching process, try using third-party marketing-based websites. Many of these national websites make their money by selling advertising space to real estate agents and loan officers. They have no obligation to keep their inventory accurate, up to date, or to show all available listings. Some real estate agents and companies choose not to advertise their listings on these sites. A fair percentage of the homes on these sites do not have accurate status updates and often have accepted offers on them. This is yet another example of how you could be looking at the wrong homes while the right ones are selling.
