Any home buyer can tell you that finding the exact right home to fit their needs can be a challenge. One of the biggest concerns we hear when new clients contact us is that they’ve been searching on third-party real estate sites like Trulia or Realtor.com to find homes, yet they have to spend a lot of time filtering out homes that aren’t a good match for them.
A better approach is to ask a buyer’s agent to sign up you for a free Boston MLS home search. This way, you’ll receive auto emails of homes that meet very specific search criteria. Traditional third-party real estate search sites will only allow you basic searches such as the towns, number of bedrooms, baths, size of home and lot, and age of home.
However, the Boston MLS allows you to more finely tune your home search. You can search by all kinds of criteria such as:
* Home style
* Specialty homes such as waterfront properties
* Nearby amenities such as public transportation, hiking trails, or houses of worship
* Number of garage spaces
* Type of heating
* Public/private water
* Public/private sewer
* Handicapped features
You can even search by keywords to find very specific types of homes, such as equestrian properties or green certified homes.
Another very handy feature is the abiity to search in a specific area of a city or town. For example, you can hone a Wellesley home search to focus on neighborhoods such as Babson Park, Overbrook, Wellesley Farms, Wellesley Fells, and Wellesley Hills. This way you don’t have to waste time weeding through a bunch of Wellesley real estate listings if you’re only interested in living in Wellesley Hills, for example.
