Houses on sites like Zillow, Trulia, etc., all pull data from the MLS and that data often takes time to populate into the website. This means you’re looking at outdated, delayed listings, and this puts you at a disadvantage against buyers who are receiving listings directly from the MLS through working with a Realtor. A common misconception buyers have is thinking that they are responsible for the Realtor’s commission. In reality, the Buyer’s Agent is traditionally paid by the Listing Agent. This means that working with a Realtor is free!
