I am selling my home and want to list it on Homes.com. How do I do this?
Homes.com only accepts listings that are represented by a
licensed real estate broker/agent. Ask your agent if he/she advertises on
Homes.com, and ask to have your home listed! If you don't yet have an agent,
you can find one on Homes.com!
Listings come from several sources, actually. Some come directly from MLSs
(Multiple Listing Services) around the country. We also receive listings from the folks
at
The Real Estate Book, Unique Homes, and New Home Finder magazines.
Finally, many listings come directly from agents and brokers, who post them to the site
from their own Web sites.
It depends on the source. Some, such as those from MLSs, may be updated
as frequently as every day. Others supplied by The Real Estate Book,
Unique Homes, and New Home Finder magazines are updated based on print cycles
for those magazines. Those entered directly from agents and brokers
may be on the site longer, and must be removed by those listing sources. As
with any real estate Web site, there is no guarantee that a listing you are
reviewing is still available, so it's always a good idea to inquire with the
agent identified on the listing.
Why can't I find addresses for any of the properties on Homes.com?
Many homesellers, and the agents/brokers that represent them, do not want
their personal addresses advertised on the Web. Therefore, Homes.com does not post them.
The best way to find out the exact location of the property is to contact the listing
agent identified on the listing.
I would like to sign up for MyHomes.com, but am concerned about privacy.
What is your policy on this?
We, too, are concerned about your privacy, and are committed to protecting it.
We only collect the information we need to provide you with a requested service,
and do not share your individual information with others unless you explicitly grant
us permission. For more details on our privacy policy, simply click on the link

How accurate is the data provided in your demographic and crime reports?
These data are deemed to be reliable, but are not guaranteed. In many instances,
these data are obtained from US Census statistics, and projections from those.
In areas where unexpected growth has occurred, this may result in the projections
being slightly off (for example, the 1990 US Census could never have predicted
the incredible growth of the Silicon Valley area of California). Also, when reviewing
crime data, be aware that the numbers provided are index numbers, and do not reflect
the actual number of that particular crime for a specific area. For example, if you see
that an area you are investigating had a Burglary Index of 127, that does not mean that
127 burglaries occur in that area annually, it simply means that the frequency of burglaries
is 27% more than the national average. In addition, statistics for a specific zip code
(or neighborhood) may also factor in other zip codes that fall within the same police district.
