Here is something I run across all the time: I go to show a property and while I have the listing agent on the phone, I generally ask if this is senior housing. So many times they say 'why yes, did I forget to put that in the MLS'?

PLEASE put vital information like that into the MLS folks! Here in Florida there are so many communities and not just condo communities, but single family housing communities as well, that are 55+ only. It just makes life so much easier if ALL the information is in the MLS.

I did not know a particular house was in one of those communities, showed the place, my client loved it and then we had to move on when I went to write the offer and found out that it was 55+. What a waste of time for all concerned!

Do us all a favor, put it in the MLS!!!

BarbaraJo, it is a pain, especially when you have a client that comes to you with the listing all excited and then you need to tell them it's aged restricted.
