cuz the MLS number is way easier to deal with than the phone number, and waiting for some idiot BS’er to call u back. With the MLS#, u can go on the computer and look it up, see pics of the inside, property dimensions, square footage, everything, without having to go to a stupid open house or make an appointmnent. You’ll know right away if you wanna see it or not.
They cry about houses not selling, but this non-posting of MLS #’s really wastes a lot of time for everyone.
I am not a crack-smoking moron, and I am sorry if my avatar’s appearance and /or question composure has given that impression.
I have tried using several sobbing real-estate agents. The result? Me looking up houses online, and calling my "agent" to go see them with me.
Also, I have called the numbers on the signs, with very little positive effect. Why do you think I posted this question?Over 1/2 of these cry-babies don’t answer or call back.
I have also looked for houses online by their address, and have not found them.
One house, was the only house on that particular road for sale. I called the agent who’s number was listed on the sign, gave him the address, and he had no idea what house I was talking about.
The MLS #’s are on every listing pictured online, so it wouldn’t expose anyone to "added security problems" if the # was posted on the sale-sign itself.
why don’t they put MLS numbers on the house “For Sale” signs?

To the guy who answered before me, I’m guessing you would stand to lose financially now wouldn’t you? Just a hunch. I think that the ‘tricks’ of the trade for lack of a better term – are usually not revealed in any industry. An auto dealer will not post the invoice on the door of the car, a cable guy wont show you how to do it yourself to save the hassle of a 4 hour window for a service call again next time and so on.
