Where a Sebastian listing actually reaches
A Sebastian listing reaches buyer agents through the BeachesMLS / Miami MLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Sebastian Inlet, Sebastian proper, Pelican Island, Indian River Drive, Treasure Shores, Sebastian Highlands, Davis Street, Main Street, Sebastian River Landing and Schumann Drive. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Sebastian frequently look at Vero Beach, Fellsmere and Fort Pierce in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
