How to Read the MLS Property Report—A Guide for Charlotte NC Home Buyers (Part 7)
If you are a Charlotte NC home buyer, you will want to understand the wealth of information you can get from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) property reports that your real estate agent gives you.
This guide will lead you through a property report and make you a better-informed home buyer. Part 1 covered the basic property information found at the top of the report. Part 2 addressed what you should know and what you should investigate if the report indicates that the property is subject to a Home Owners Association (HOA). Square footage, including heated area and unheated area, was covered in Part 3. Part 4 described how you can determine what type of rooms the home has and how some of these rooms, such as bedrooms, are defined in the Charlotte marketplace. The type of information that the report gives about the features of the home or description of the home was the topic of Part 5. Part 6 tells you how to find out what type of utilities and heating and cooling systems the house has.

This is the final post in this series about the MLS Property Report. You will want to see photography of the listing and read the description of the property entered by the listing agent. The description is found in the Remarks section at the bottom of the report. Photographs are found by clicking the media button in the upper right corner of the report. Listing agents may enter up to 16 photographs for each listing. The agent may also write a paragraph under each photo. Be sure to check the media section to see if the agent has provided additional written remarks about the home. A VT to the right of the media button indicates that there is a link to a virtual tour of the property as well.
