Expecting Zillow to replace the Multiples is like expecting Kelly Blue Book to replace Automobile dealers.

It appears you don't understand the revenue model nor the purpose.

Zillow never claimed to be a "listing service".  There is a lot of difference between an advertisement based revenue and a "membership" based service.

That's correct - Zillow is not a replacement for the MLS.  In Miami the best way to search for properties is to use a Realtor.  We can set up an automated search for you through the MLS so that you can have properties emailed to you which meet your criteria as soon as they come onto the market.  

You can also check Realtor.com which feeds through the MLS, but it does also have a lag time - especially if you are trying to buy an REO (bank owned or foreclosure property) as they are selling very quickly.

Feel free to contact me if you're not currently working with another Realtor.

Best regards,

Audra

As a replacement to MLS? No. Due to how properties are listed and not updated on MLS, you will find quite a few properties listed as 'for sale' that have sold.

Rely on MLS for the most up to date information on available homes.
