Yes, it is true a buyer can find information on almost all homes for sale on the Internet. In fact according to REBAC, this idea that a buyer does not need an agent to find a property to buy is the #3 most common myth among first time home buyers.
The fact is that that not all properties are advertised on the internet; Not all sites have current information; and not all site have a good method of selecting specific information, locations, and other criteria.
Some of the big complaints I have heard from people searching on the Internet are:
1. I didn't know about that property? I couldn't find it on x's site.
2. Every time I find a property for sale and call for more information, I find out it is either sold or pending.
3. I can only search by the major criteria like bedrooms and price....All I really want to look at are homes in the XXX area or xxx school district. There are too many to sort through.
The moral of the story....Find a good agent to help you find the home you want in a more efficient way.
