Flexmls For Homebuyers Reviews

by Shirliana

It was working fine, until I tried to do a search for a specific address. Now I can’t remove the address from the search! And as if that wasn’t enough, when I do a search with no filters, I can only see the first 100 results that come up. If I select any of the filters, It tells me I have a certain number of results but as soon as I try to see them I get the sorry no results for your criteria.

Please tell me how to fix this! I’ve uninstalled FlexmlsForHomebuyers and reinstalled, but it still does the same things.

I won’t use this anymore for the same reason so many have complained - if you leave it, to say, go look at a map or Google earth, it immediately refreshes and then you to have to click your way back to the search function which doesn’t even maintain a history. So you have to type in the address again.
Deleted and going back to their www page.🙄

FlexmlsForHomebuyers is terrible. It refreshes every time you exit it. So if you are coordinating with someone via text or phone you can’t just flip back to FlexmlsForHomebuyers and continue where you left off. All of the criteria for looking at houses are set by the real estate agent so you can’t filter your own results. I can’t see for the life of me why anyone would use this over any of the other real estate apps out there.

I waste so much time in FlexmlsForHomebuyers and honestly debating about switching to a different agent / broker over its limitations and lack of features.

The website search shows more information by far but when it is not erroring out the status of properties is NOT in sync with FlexmlsForHomebuyers, in particular the mobile app doesnt show the difference between Active & Active (W) which though its not defined in either place makes a huge difference in availability.

You also have no ability in FlexmlsForHomebuyers or on the website to save your own custom searches or even see the criteria of the search the realtor has setup for you.

You have to click multiple times to find your saved properties and its not on the screen and you have completely different views / sorts in the different views and its hard sometimes hust getting he list you want.. like why isnt there a filter on your saved properties.

So aggrevating..

My family are in the market for a home in the near future, and FlexmlsForHomebuyers won’t fully open. FlexmlsForHomebuyers will allow me to click on it, then close immediately after. I just want to stay in touch with my agent through this process and see more available homes as they come about. We would like to stay in the know by just clicking on FlexmlsForHomebuyers , and seeing what is available in our price range, without having to call or text my agent for info every second. And I am a mother of three, so I usually look on FlexmlsForHomebuyers in the wee hours when they sleeping.

I’m looking for a property that has enough acreage for my needs, but this isn’t included in the advanced settings or filters, so I use other apps and jump from app to app to be able to see all pictures and details of properties I’m interested in and it’s incredibly frustrating. Can this feature be added?

I also agree with another reviewer that when you jump from another app back to Flexmls it jumps back to the Home Screen. If my realtor didn’t use FlexmlsForHomebuyers I would delete it and never use it at all.

I only use FlexmlsForHomebuyers when I have an actual address to plug in because FlexmlsForHomebuyers actually gives detailed information that Zillow does not give such as the real taxes (Zillow’s is a guesstimate), HOA fees (Zillow doesn’t give this information), etc. And I can read any legal documents about each property on FLEXMLS. BUT.......it is horrible for searching for properties. I get 277 properties in one search (with a sorting of high to low prices) but it only lets me see 100 of them. If I then do a sorting of low to high prices I will get 100 of the 277 from the opposite. However there is no way to see the 77 properties in the middle price range. Grrrr So, like I said, it has great detailed information but I keep it only for that. I do all of my searching on Zillow. Then use FlexmlsForHomebuyers to get more info if I can plug in an actual address.

FlexmlsForHomebuyers works ok to see listings, but lacks what I feel are basic functions:
-no collaboration with anyone except agent (e.g., co-owner, spouse, etc.)
-you can filter by number of bathrooms, but not number of bedrooms
-there is a link at the bottom to get to your saved homes, but it leads to a page that you have to click “saved” again on
-there is a place for saved searches, but no way to save searches (or if there is, I can’t find it)
-no matter what you’re doing in FlexmlsForHomebuyers , if you switch apps while using (say...if you’re writing a review on it in FlexmlsForHomebuyers Store), once you return to FlexmlsForHomebuyers it goes back to the Home Screen which I largely useless. Mine shows my agent’s contact info and a single listing (not one I saved or even want to see).

by Rosswings

It is a glaring fault to me that FlexmlsForHomebuyers resets to home each time you switch apps. As I am looking at homes, I frequently bounce between apps since no one app has all the features that SHOULD be present in a housing search app. The fact that FlexmlsForHomebuyers resets means that I will not use it much. Add to that the limited mapping features and it's only value is that your agent can send you notice of specific properties. I give it 2 stars just for effort.

I have been using FlexmlsForHomebuyers based on my realtors suggestion and it has been a pain. It has far too few filters for important things like garage, and covered patios. I have had to uninstall and reinstall FlexmlsForHomebuyers at least twice a week every week I have used it. It has little to no developer support that I have seen and it’s in serious need of an update.

by Mas_Chris

FlexmlsForHomebuyers not the site allow me to save my own searches so I have to hope it saves or re-enter my search parameters even if I just want to check something a bit different than what was set up by my realtor. FlexmlsForHomebuyers , the desktop site and the mobile site are all a bit different and not consistent. The desktop site is the worst of them all and I find using the mobile website the best option. Need better search and save functionality.

by Athena79

Not a bad app, but...
- It specifically mentions a search button in the menu and that option is shown in the preview for FlexmlsForHomebuyers , but even after updating FlexmlsForHomebuyers it’s not there.
- There should be an option to un-hide listings, once you hide something it’s just totally gone.
- I’d like the option to search through listings not curated by my Realtor (maybe this is supposed to be the search function?)

by Phornung

I like FlexmlsForHomebuyers , but you can’t remove saved homes without scrolling through your feed, find the home and remove the star. Should be able to remove saved homes from the saved feed. That gets annoying when the home may be sold. Sold homes seem to never leave the feed. Would be nice to be able to remove homes from your feed and homes from your saved feed.

by Thehazels

Recent update has glitches where the screen does not easily respond to close pictures. Biggest issue is address font was made larger and now the only way to know the city a property is located in is by opening the link to the listing, which is very time consuming. In general, it would be nice to have more filters to fine tune searches.

I been trying to get into FlexmlsForHomebuyers but it opens up for like 2 seconds all I see is the log in page then kicks me out I have the iPhone 11 . I will change the 3 stars to 5 when they fix that .

by Staromicron

My main issue at the beginning was looking at a property, then opening up another app to look up something- like the street view- which is also not an option, then going back to FlexmlsForHomebuyers that remained open and it refreshes and puts back at the home screen! Very frustrating! Now I no longer get app notifications like I used to even though my settings did not change and are set for badge icon and preview. Nothing. Tried reinstalling- still no notifications (aside from an email). In this market, gotta jump on things, doesn’t help when it looks like nothing new comes in.

Using on iPhone11 iOS ver13.4.1, did phone update a few days ago but all of a sudden today it tries to open for a moment, then quits and crashes. FlexmlsForHomebuyers and its website is kind of clumsy and it never notifies me in a useful way. I use Redfin for notifications, street views and easier saving - then switch over to FlexmlsForHomebuyers for better details. It would be really nice if after minimizing FlexmlsForHomebuyers , then going back into it, it kept your place. So it’s easier to get back to the listing when using the driving directions.

by Cdmercier

It would be nice to see an option where we can request a disclosure, which then sends a notification to the realtor who can either approve or deny, and then it automatically sends us a copy of the disclosure to the property. This would save a lot of back-and-forth with the realtor having to wait to see a disclosure when they may be busy working with another client.

by Gunnar70

FlexmlsForHomebuyers is a great companion when working with an agent. It keeps an updated list of all the available properties that come up with all of the requirements we discussed with our realtor. Not perfect, takes a little time to get familiar with but it definitely makes the home searching process much easier!

by RenaissanceMan13

FlexmlsForHomebuyers works pretty well; we have been able to view properties that match our needs and even rate them for ourselves using a 3-star system. There is one feature we think would improve FlexmlsForHomebuyers tremendously: a notes section for saved properties. We would love the ability to not only save and rate the properties, but also make a few quick notes about our favorite features all right there in FlexmlsForHomebuyers . A street view where you could explore the area would also be a nice touch.

by Mintyfresh7

FlexmlsForHomebuyers needs a lot of work. It constantly says there are notifications but doesn’t specify what listings have been updated. The only way to find out is to scroll through the news feed or lists and try to remember what prices and statuses were before. It also doesn’t show what the price was before any price changes that happen like Zillow so nicely does. Terrible. Leaves A LOT to be desired.

by Agent554

Not to many realtors even know how to set up an account for you the agent or buyer. Email to the company is useless. Why would you even need a password to access FlexmlsForHomebuyers is beyond me when you don’t need one with the mobile browser. One word, USELESS!

by Smhartmann

Do not waste your time trying to use FlexmlsForHomebuyers. It is completely useless. Can’t save homes or searches. Doesn’t show school ratings. Just a total piece of junk. My realtor sends me a link to a house and it takes me to a search or 100k+ homes, not an actual listing.

by Sokrgirl

FlexmlsForHomebuyers was working great and then I lost the search function! I have deleted FlexmlsForHomebuyers , restarted the phone and downloaded again to no avail. My husband so has the search function on his devices. Also, I clicked on app support for help and it went to a now empty website.

by Emmerald.Irvin

FlexmlsForHomebuyers and even the online portal are incredibly limited. This platform is not user friendly and doesn’t provide the information you want when you’re seriously house searching. It does not provide the property disclosures, which is something you should have access to and can get on better platforms.

by CashflowCompass

FlexmlsForHomebuyers used to work fine, but now just opens, shows the login screen with my email auto filled I and the password field blank. Then closes in less than a second.

by WndrW

FlexmlsForHomebuyers is so dumb and horrible can’t even log into it. Also the web version is so HORRIBLE!!! It used to work and now it is such a mess . Deletes my info and will select info i didn’t chose . FIX IT !!!!!!! You get paid to know this stuff do your job !!!! Extremely frustrating I now can’t use anything unless I’m on an actual desktop computer !!! You will not be able to access it thru phone. So FRUSTRATING !!

by Rocky2011

My own realtors listings won't load past a certain point, have problems with pictures loading on homes and problems with map loading.

by Jeseaca

Used to use it all the time, but since last update or so, it crashes on the login screen.

by Ptbarry

Did you just eliminate the room sizes on the detail property page?

by Cdacker

Since I started having my clients use FlexmlsForHomebuyers the feedback has been nothing but positive.
