Is it painful to completely fill out the MLS form? I only ask because I find so many MLS pages incomplete there must be a good reason. Realtors® are professionals and work hard to insure complete an accurate listings.

Take the Home Owners Association section on the form for example; the box is marked yes there is an association, but where is the name and more importantly the amount of the dues? I understand that it might take some digging to get this information but a real pro will be thorough and concise in all they does and will find these facts to be accurate and complete.

Lenders often need this information when pre-qualifying buyers to determine the monthly payment they can afford. It helps the buyers agent to answer these questions in a professional manner as well.

So someone, please, help me understand why the MLS forms miss so much valuable information by listing agents.
