When you are going onto third party real estate websites, you may come across a home that says it has "SOLD" as the status.
However, you drive by the house, and it appears there is a "FOR SALE" sign in front of the home.
You want to see the house...but you are not sure if it is available or not for purchase.
Some possible answers:
- Home could no longer be available for purchase, and the agent hasn't picked up sign yet.
- Home may be ready to go on the market, but the agent hasn't marked ACTIVE on the MLS (multiple listing service) yet.
- Home could be sold as a FSBO (for sale by owner)
What Should You Do?
In my opinon, if you are EVER interested in a property, I recommend that you consult with a local real estate agent that you trust (ME!)
I can do some research to see if it is a possibility to see the home or not.
But, there is also a difference in seeing the home because you want to buy it vs. seeing the home becausae you just want to look at it.
But first, I think it is important to get to know each other!

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016.
I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017.
When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
