Real Estate Lead Generator - New Website Provides MLS Listings For FREE
Written on November 12, 2008 by Peter- REBB Founder
How would you like to to access the ultimate MLS real estate lead generator for free? I know there are many real estate investors who regularly have agents look through MLS for listings to find motivated seller leads.
Today I have a quick post for you. All I have to say is that MLS is finally getting it. What do I mean by that? Well, over the past couple of years, several free real estate lead generator services have appeared on the internet offering people access to real estate listing information. These services include Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin. Many people have used them to find motivated seller leads.
As you can imagine, MRIS (one of the largest Multiple Listing Services in the U.S.) is not very happy about those services. So, they decided to start their own real estate lead generator service.
This service is call HomesDatabase and is still in the beta stage. So why am I telling you about this today? Because I want you to be the first to know about this service and if you live in the area they currently service with this new site, you’ll get a full MLS benefit from it.
Currently, they only service Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania real estate listings. But they hope to expand in many other real estate markets as the time goes by.
So why should you use this MLS service as oppose to other services?
Because this real estate lead generator service has been developed and is supported by MRIS. The other services simply pull data out of whatever MRIS provides to them. Therefore, you will get only a porrtion of the real estate listings. Why? Because some listings are withheld from appearing on those sites by the database distributor.
On the other hand, since this site is the official MRIS site, they’ll more likely provide most if not all of their real estate listings in order to have that competitive advantage.
So check it out and keep paying attention to the site to see when they’ll reveal more areas. It looks like the days of strict real estate agent MLS access is slowly disappearing.
To Your Success,
Peter K.

Does wolfnet also allow for RSS feeds of listings or is it just 1and1? Or do you know if 1and1 offers the ability to search listings without having to put in user data? I have found in seattle, that if you don’t offer a free map search first, people will go elsewhere.
Thanks for the article as well as for the information. NIce to know about these information. Keep it coming.
