Niles Michigan Realtor: Saw a Home on Zillow, it Still Available?

This is one of those questions I get all the time. I am a personal believer in Zillow as a great place to advertise as home buyers are using the web to find homes, and Zillow comes up on peoples searches.

Though the biggest problem I run into is that homes are not as accurate on the site. Most cases there is no problem and the home is as it says it is but there are plenty of them out there that are not accurate.

Clients contact me from Zillow and most of them have had some issue with a property not being available like Zillow says.

My response if very simple to my clients and it is that Zillow is a great starting place to start a home search, but a Realtor is the person who should really help you find your new home. A Realtor has the tools to help you complete your home search. They should have a great website with accurate MLS data for you to look up the homes you want. So pick a Realtor that has the tools and services to help you accomplish your goal, which is home ownership!
