Real estate agents frequently receive requests from clients requesting listings from the local MLS that match their criteria.
Real estate agents gladly do this as part of the service they provide.

Just a reminder to all clients that agents do pay a lot of money out of their own pockets for the access to the MLS listings so they can provide lists of homes for free to the potential buyers and sellers. Real estate agents only get paid when they help someone to buy or sell a home.

It is just common courtesy to let these agents know that you have received the lists and also to thank them for their efforts and diligence in getting these listings it to you, just as you will expect someone to acknowledge when you provided them with something of value.

Common courtesy is unfortunately often forgotten in today’s environment.
