I wanted to look at properties today for my sister, since she is relocating to Ga., and what a nuisance it was trying to get a peek at the pictures of houses she was interested in in the MLS. Quite a few sites asked me for my life history, e-mail address, login id's. So, I left the sites and went to find one that eventually allowed me access to the MLS without doing all the above.

Do realtors really get that big of a pull of clients from web hits?
I personally would be interviewing realtors if I was looking to purchase a home.

I think if I ever become a realtor, I would focus more on my qualifications vs. making people go through a horse and dance to see what's available in the market.
