Before: Buying Process Overview: First Meeting: Receive Property Lists
Receive Property Lists is all about how you’ll get the properties that are for sale and that come up for sale from your real estate agent. It is the fifth step in the First Meeting with your real estate agent process.
Typically, we recommend that you ask your real estate agent to set up automatic property search emails at the first meeting. You’d provide your real estate agent information about the properties you need and they’d set it up so you receive property notifications as those properties come up for sale in the MLS. This is typically done in Week 1 or Week 2 of the Ultimate Nomad Checklist™.
The Receive Property Lists process is shown below.

Websites like Zillow, Realtor, Trulia, Redfin, etc can have inaccurate or delayed data.
ColoProperty.com is the direct interface to our local MLS and so it is the most up-to-date website for checking property status, pricing, etc.
If you're going to use other websites, please check ColoProperty.com before emailing James about it to make sure the info from those other websites is correct.

- Attached, detached or both
- Minimum beds and bathrooms
- Price max (and maybe a price minimum)
- Garage requirements
- Any other requirements that Real Estate Broker can set up a search for
Mark this complete once your Real Estate Broker has started to send you automatic property search emails.
