MLS Search for Chicago and Suburbs
Most real estate web surfers want one thing whether they are buying and/or selling, and that's access to the local MLS. But what many prospects don't understand is that there are different ways to access the local MLS.
One way is IDX, which is a sampling of active MLS listings. There is no registration required but only a portion of the MLS is available using this kind of search. So if you are not being asked to register in the Northern IL area, you're not getting all of the listings for sale.
Cook-County-Real-Estate.com offers full Chicago MLS search including all suburbs. In fact, it is one of the largest MLS's in the nation. Not only can you search the Chicago suburbs but you can go into parts of Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin! You can also search pretty far south such as Kankakee and other "far-away" areas from what most of us consider Northern IL.
Registration is required but all you really need is your name and a working e-mail account. Once you sign up you can save your searches and come back as much as you want to continue with your search. In fact, if you log-in at least once every 30 days you don't have to register again.
So if you want access to each and every available home for sale (plus condo/townhouse, rentals, mobile homes and vacant land), the only way you can access this information is by registering. You don't want to miss what might be the perfect property for you!
You don't have to worry that your information will be sold or shared. This is simply a requirement of the MLS to allow access to the complete active database of homes for sale.
If you want to set any appointments for these properties give Judy Orr a call at 708-536-8200.
