We closed on a house in TV in April and had started looking last December. We had both a VLS and MLS agent. We knew we wanted to be “between the 6’s” and our VLS agent kept trying to show us new houses near Eastport, even though we told them we did not want that. Another negative to VLS is you have no idea how long a house has been on the market and if it is overpriced. One of the houses we looked at in December is still currently for sale on VLS at the same price. We ended up buying pre-owned with MLS. It all depends on what you want, but to make sure you see everything having both VLS and MLS is necessary. There are good and bad agents on both sides, so just make sure you find the right ones. For new builds, you definitely need VLS.
