Missing Information

By
Real Estate Agent with Desert Heritage Real Estate

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.

Sorry Evelyn, those are all pretty lame excuses for a professional, but you left off one, it hurts when they fill out the profile.
