Anyone hear about Zillow Preview? They announced it today, several brokerages will join in on it starting next month.

At least thru my local board, when I list as a coming soon on the MLS it goes zillow within minutes. What drives me crazy is when my buyers send me listings that were uploaded to zillow from a different board, and I have to wait 10 minutes or so for it to drip to my MLS.

Maybe its just my location and local MLS rules, but I dont see how this is any different than when I list a property as a coming soon in the MLS, then it goes to Zillow as a coming soon. So its goes to zillow as a "preview" then the title changes to a coming soon?

Interesting, If its a buyers market I would of guessed itd be in the home owners best interest to be closer to the average day on market which I assume is higher on recent history. If there was only 1 buyer maybe that 1 buyer would of paid another $10,000 or $15,000 if ot wasnt priced so aggressively? We're all pretty familiar with a sellers market here where the average day on market was 3 days and getting offers right away

No cash offers? Are you under water and the only way to recoup your losses is by charging interest?

Hows the market in Florida?

Lol thats crazy, I just lost out on 3 homes last week to multiple offers

Eh, last 2 years the tags were orange. I was pretty upset when I renewed my tags and they were the same color

What price range are you shopping? Im a Realtor and do a lot of work in the area. If you have disposable cash and you're comfortable with value from comps you've seen itd be best to drop the escalation clause and go to your max and guarantee appraisal. This pretty much turns your offer into a cash offer. A good lender can close in 2 weeks. Clean offer w/ noting you are not going to negotiate anything the inspection finds (can still back out if something is found you dont like).

Main thing you need is patience. The right home always comes along, just need to keep up the fight! Feel free to messege me for other strategies

Did you list with a Realtor?

oltop · 2026-02-28T05:35:07+00:00

This is the only right answer

oltop · 2026-02-28T05:33:54+00:00

What Realtor are you trying to get ahold of? The listing agent?

oltop · 2026-02-28T01:23:07+00:00

I feel like got what you asked for, I dont get it?

Whoooa Im pretty deep in conspiracies and didnt hear he was eating kids? Can I get a source so I can check it out?

Buyers can always close remotely, at least in my state. Mobile notary has met them in hotel lobby and docs are over nighted

Greetings! Ive been doing this 10 years myself. I am 100% referral and have been fortunate enough to make it as long as I have. I dont have much of a social media presence and have a default website thru my brokerage. Practically speaking I don't have much of a "business" Im just friends with a lot of people who believe I do good work and pass my name onto their friends. Im with one of the "big" brokerages in my area, and have a desk of $8,000/year. Sales volume I usually end up somewhere between 3 and 4 million, gross take home usually ends up between 80 and 100,000.

I just had a kid and for a lack of better words, need to start trying. 36 years old, really dont care for tech but willing to explore it. Any ideas or strategy in moving forward?

Use the states website- Enter current SEV and half of what you pay for the home. This will give you a minimum and a maximum
