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!

 
Where do the listings on Homes.com come from?

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.

 
How often are your listings updated?

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.

 
I am an agent/broker and would like to advertise my services and listings on Homes.com. How do I go about this?

I am an agent/broker, and noticed some information on my home page or listing that needs to be changed.  How do I go about this?

Contact one of our customer service representatives at technicalproblems. They'll be glad to help you out!

 
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.

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.
