How to use MLS search like a pro
Start broad, then narrow fast. In Houston, pricing and inventory can change week to week, so focus on the filters that move the needle: area, school zones, flood risk considerations, commute corridors, lot size, and HOA requirements.
1) Pick your “must-haves”
Budget range, beds/baths, commute, and one or two preferred areas.
2) Save favorites
Save listings you like so we can compare comps and identify over/under-priced homes.
3) Tour & move quickly
When the right one appears, touring quickly is often the difference-maker.
