I noticed realtor.com has lots of outdated and missing houses for sales. Is there a free website I can access that's close to MLS? I need a link please.

Do not go to a discount brokerage of any kind to get information. Look at it this way, the sellers are represented by a professional negotiator who specializes in real estate. You want a professional negotiator who specializes in real estate working for you. The best way to find a home is to contact a Buyer Specialist at a reputable real estate brokerage.
I do not know what area of So. Cal you are talking about, but as a Realtor myself for 16 years, (yes I am a professional negotiator) I would contact a specialist in the area I was moving to.
By the way...Realtor.com is pathetic. There is one heck of a lot of outdated listings. It is not as automated as they tell us Realtors it is. Bag it. It is a waste of time.

Every MLS in Southern California has its listings on realtor.com. The process is now automated, in that the listing automatically goes to realtor.com when it is inserted into the MLS.
If you are seeing 'missing and outdated' listings, the source is the MLS, and not realtor.com.
As an aside, the listing realtor has the option of placing the listing on realtor.com or not. Generally, if it is withheld from realtor.com, it is at seller request.

Try buyside.com or ziprealty.com. Buyside does not give you any support, but they give you a 2.5% rebate. ZipRealty is a discount broker that gives a smaller rebate.
Realtor.com is good in terms of the amount of information, but they are outdated with the listings.
