Where a Sunset listing actually reaches
A Sunset listing reaches buyer agents through the BeachesMLS / Miami MLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Sunset Park, Sunset Estates, Sunset Lakes, Olympia Heights border, Killian Pines, Continental Park, SW 72 Street corridor, SW 117 Avenue, Westwood Lakes border and SW 88 Street. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Sunset frequently look at Olympia Heights, Westwood Lakes and Kendall in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
