MLS and Sandy

If a home was posted for sale before the hurricane and sustained a lot of damage, would the listing still be up on mlsli?

MLS and Sandy

I'm guessing probably not unless they reduced the price and it's now "as is" for buyers to repair. However depending on the damage it wouldn't pass an inspection for a mortgage.

Re: MLS and Sandy

if the seller hasn't had a chance to change things with the agent b/c they have other issues

I am lucky that I live in babylon- but don't really work there- so I don't have this issue on my listings- but I am sure there are many houses on MLS that have damage

there is no magic button to remove a damaged home- if my house was damaged and someone wanted to see it- that would probably be the first time I thought of it - if my agent didn't check on me

but there are some agents from areas like oceanside that I know lived on the water- and I can't get him on the phone even thou we have a deal going

we are trying to get things back to normal- I only went back to work this week

Re: MLS and Sandy

In order to remove it from MLS, we need to have the seller's consent to the withdrawal. One of my listings has to come off the market temporarily for repair/restoration work, but I only got the withdrawal in yesterday. It's been a crazy time - lots of the real estate offices on the south shore were damaged. My office is in NORTH Bellmore and we only got our power back earlier this week. And of course, the homeowners of the flooded homes have been dealing with getting their own lives back in order (cleaning out the homes, getting their kids settled, hiring workers to make repairs, etc.).

So - no, there's no guarantee that houses that sustained flood damage have all been taken off the market.
