Home Search

---

The Home Search for most begins with online searches.  There are a multitude of websites you can use to search for your new home, but in today's fast moving market, it is imperative that you use a site with Real-Time updates to the MLS data of available homes. 

I set my clients up with a direct portal to the Kansas City MLS database for immediate notifications on all new listings and changes to homes in their search.  Today, a 24 hour delay or even sometimes just a few hours delay can lead to you missing out on your dream home.

For those using the public portals, I recommend Realtor.com as they are owned by the National Association of Realtors and have direct feeds from MLS, whereas Zillow and Trulia and others do not get direct feeds on all listings and will be missing some homes and updates on the change of status of others.
