Before I became a Realtor, I was a buyer. I bought 2 houses before I became licensed, and I remember obsessively searching on different real estate companies websites. It was always a struggle to sort through their layers of branding, “featured listings”, and mandatory sign-up sheets. My fabulous Realtor (and now Real Estate BFF) Craig Bergstrom would find houses for me based on my criteria. As a buyer on a budget, my criteria was changing constantly, and I loved searching through all the listings myself.
These days buyers have so many great home search sites beyond those offered by real estate companies. I recommend Trulia to my clients, but there are many others. My #1 Client Matt just sent me this article about using Google Maps in your real estate search, which I thought was fantastic.
What are some other sites that you have used successfully?
