While doing some BPO work today for some multi-family houses it still amazes me the number of agents who do not fill out many of the non-required fields in the MLS.
It also was interesting that many of these "slim" MLS listings are REO properties.
Do people not realize that if you fail to fill out fields such as, # of units, number of bedrooms, number of baths, total sq feet, than many people doing searches for properties will NEVER SEE YOU LISTING IN MLS.
I also love the MLS description when people write... "Bank owned"... and nothing else.
I try to fill out full data fields, give multiple pictues (good and bad), and write an accurate description in the remarks field. No wonder my last 4 sales averaged 45 DOM.
That's my rant for the day.

Agreed, the worst is writing up the BPO and guesstimating for half the data that isn't there in the first place. I also like it when there's only 1 picture provided, and its like the bathroom or it looks like the photo was taken while running from police. These listings are annoying to work with and I have no idea how these agents actually sell properties.

When I pulled up the old listing I immediately saw the property listed as 2 bedrooms and 1 bath.
I can only imagine the people who never saw the listing in MLS or Realtor.com etc, because their search criteria included 2+ baths.
Oh well.. my gain
