Many searchers like it when they are
looking for foreclosed homes and there is no sign up
involved. Some people like the freelance nature and the
freedom that such opportunities provide you. If there is no
sign up involved you also have to look at the bright side
of this; there won't be a ton of annoying e-mails or others
forms of communication coming from the organization who
offers the list themselves. You are also less likely to
receive spam from auctioneers or realtors who may be
loosely aligned with those posting the listing. Unnecessary
advertisements can be frustrating when you are just looking
for a good deal on some real estate.
The negative way to look at a no sign up
option is that you won't get alerts when the information
about a property you were looking at may change. For
example let's say you were closing looking at a listing for
a property in Greenville, South Carolina with the thoughts
that it would be absolutely perfect for you. You are basing
such an assessment off of the original posting that you
found regarding the home. It turns that some of that
information was incorrect and thus the entry has been
changed. Originally the home was listed as having a three
car garage, but it turns out to be an only two car
ordeal.
This means that you can longer fit your
three vehicles inside the home, meaning you have to start
over in your search. If there were a sign up sheet where
you can give your e-mail to the company for notification
purposes you can have been told about the change to the
property listing sooner, but that isn't possible under the
no sign up option. This hypothetical situation should
highlight how fast the market changes.
At least under the no sign up situation
you can leave the organization's site on your own free will
fairly easily. A lot of people are uncomfortable giving out
there home address and phone number due to privacy concerns
anyway. Many of these sites where you have to sign up to
gather information about properties require you to give out
this information.
