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.
