I have heard that you don’t need a realtor’s license to access the MLS. Is this true?I have a friend who is a realtor, but I feel awkward asking her to “bird dog” for me.
Also, where do I go in my town to access preforclore listings? I tried city hall but they quickly shooed me away. :help
Realtor.com is the “consumer” side of MLS.
Actually, if it is in effect in your area (and it should be), most local realtors should be on a service called IDX and if so, have a link on their website somewhere to “search all listings” or “search MLS” or something similar.
You can use that to run your own searches. You won’t get as detailed of info as an agent, but enough to get you what you need.
