Buyers start their search online and then contact an agent at some point. When they are ready to look at homes they mention their requirements eg age of house, school district and price and then mention the features that they would like in their home.
It is easy for an agent to look up the mls using the search criteria but if you look up homes this way there may not be many homes to show. You can email listings that meet most of the requirements and the buyers may say they do not want to see those homes because they do not have all that they require.
Here is a tip for buyers and agents :
There are some things that cannot be changed eg location and school district but there are other things you can control
You can decide to look at homes that are priced higher if you qualify or look for older homes that are in the price range which have the extra baths or bedrooms that you require or look in some other less expensive areas. .
Besides homes that you want to look at , You should also look at homes that the agent will suggest and see if you can make modifications . You may not find the perfect house unless you buy a lot and have a home built.
