People moving in, around, into and out of Roanoke Virginia are looking for one thing on the internet, Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listings!  You can go to a ton of places looking for Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listings, BUT, the only place to find all of Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listings is to have access to the Roanoke Multiple Listing System (MLS).  There are rules in place that prohibit the general public from accessing the Roanoke Valley Association of REALTOR (RVAR) Multiple Listing System.  What the Roanoke Valley Association of REALTORS does allow though is what is called the Internet Data Exchange System or IDX for short.

Roanoke Valley REALTORS ARE allowed to give the public access to Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listings through the IDX system.  The IDX system does not have all of the Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listings as all Real Estate Brokers are not required to participate, but almost every Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listing is on the IDX system. 

The key to remember is that there is NO website that has every Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listing, not even REALTOR.com, but every Roanoke Virginia Real Estate Listing that is available anywhere on the web, will be on the Roanoke Valley Association of REALTORS IDX sight.

Many Roanoke VA Home Buyers search different websites, hoping to find different homes on different sites.  The important point for Roanoke VA Home Buyers to keep in mind is that the information on real estate websites such as Zillow, OODLE, Trulia, Point2NLS, and literally hundreds more, is that NONE of these websites have complete Roanoke Valley Real Estate Listings!  These other sites try to gather data through a myriad of ways, but none of them have complete OR accurate information!  For matter of fact, Zillow virtually guarantees that their information is 15-20 percent incorrect!  The put that into writing!

Great information and I like how you emphasized that not all mls listings are viewable via IDX.  IDX is still more accurate than the listing syndicates like Zillow - as you mention and I will second that motion!
