Searching the Sequim MLS for listings (or Port Angeles) to find homes for sale (or land) may not actually pull up all the listings that are for sale. Did you know that? If you are searching from a website that only has Northwest MLS listings for Sequim and Port Angeles, you should be aware that not all brokers and Realtors are members of the NWMLS, and at my last count, only two-thirds of the local listings were in the NWMLS. The Olympic Listing Service (OLS) does have 100% membership of all brokers and Realtors, so you would think that your search would be complete if you use a website with an OLS search database.
Here’s a tip to help you search for your next home. It’s not always easy to tell which service a broker or Realtor is using on his or her site. And there’s another small trap for the unwary. Some listings only show up in the NWMLS, because they are “For-sale-by-owner” properties, which can be listed by a seller in the NWMLS, but not in the OLS.
Why do things have to be so complicated? They don’t if you use my Sequim MLS Listings search site. I had it programmed to allow you to search both the NWMLS and the OLS. Is that cool or what? Watch the video above to learn how to use this MLS search efficiently and how to save your search results.
If you want to see a larger version of this video above, go to Sequim MLS Search on Youtube.
All of this is absolutely free with no obligation, and you won’t hear from me unless you first email or call me. I believe the Internet should be a free and powerful tool for buyers like you, and I take pleasure in unleashing this kind power to make your Sequim home search convenient and enjoyable.
