Here's a little tip when you use an agent's website to search the local
Jacksonville MLS or any
Florida real estate MLS system. Try using less parameters to search as many times you'll notice you'll get many more results. For instance, lets say your on an agent's website and are searching for a home with a minimum of one acre of property. All of the information that is feed into that particular local MLS system will only be as good as the agent who enters it. Some listing agents do not put the property dimensions or lot sizes in MLS. Why? Most likely becauss of laziness or the agent just doesn't take the time to find out from the sellers. Instead they just leave that tid bit of information out the property size description. A simple solution is just look at the home's pictures or those of the yard and make an educated guess as to the property size. As a broker I myself am forced to do this many times in our MLS system. You can try this with other search parameters such as school districts (leave them out). Again, many agents don't place the school districts in MLS for the same reasons. Afterall, you don't want to miss something that was meant for you. If your looking at a property online and are unsure, contact that agent who can easily find out for you. They'll even be happy to email you the results and at the same time answer any additonal questions you might have. Contacting an agent can save you hours of internet shopping. Happy Internet home hunting!
