The Truth About Real Estate Search Sites



It is no secret that the best place to instantly find out general info about properties for sale is the internet. The big secret is that not all search pages are created equal.


Here Are The Important Facts You Should Know:


  1. The big corporate real estate search sites ARE SELLING YOUR INFO. They say they are free to use, but someone is paying for their operating costs… Passively, it’s you. When you use their site, your contact info, from your digital footprint to your email to your phone number are collected and sold to third parties.

  2. The big corporate real estate search sites do not have the most up to date information. They are an aggregate of info mined from various sources, but they are typically not a direct link into the mls.

  3. WAHomeHunt(.)com will NEVER sell your info… Ever!

  4. WAHomeHunt(.)com IS your direct link into the mls.

  5. WAHomeHunt(.)com is run by a small team of local real estate brokers who can easily answer property questions you may have and offer experienced perspectives.

  6. The WA Home Hunt Team behind the website does not consist of salesmen who wish to talk you into something… We are local experts available to talk you through everything.
