Instructions For Home Prospecting
Please print this out for future reference 


NOTE:  Both ***homesdatabase.com and ****realtor.com receive listing information from the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).  Please remember that in this fast-paced market, the listings change frequently. (photos and listings do not always post in a timely manner).  "homesdatabase" info is time sensitive to realtor input.

When you are ready to search for homes, click on the "homesdatabase" link above, then follow these directions:

1. Click on “Homes Prospector” (left bottom side of screen) and follow directions.
2 Make a note of the MLS Number (example: FX 7654321) and the city.  You can cross reference the property through realtor.com with this information.
3 While viewing information about a home, you can also link to neighborhood information by clicking on the "neighborhood" button about half-way down the property information page (realtor.com also has information about neighborhoods and schools).
   
*** homesdatabase.com is a webpage controlled by Metropolitan Regional Information Systems (MRIS) of the Washington D.C. area.
   
****

realtor.com is a database served by the National Association of Realtors and is an overlay from the MRIS database. (Delays sometimes of up to three days to view data).
