More than ever, consumers are beginning their search for a new home online. Check out these tips for using the internet and getting the most out of your home search. There are hundreds of Web sites with home listings including giants like Trulia and Zillow, but these sites don’t necessarily offer a personalized, welcoming experience. Real Living’s Web 2.0 is the first of its kind in real estate. Let’s take a look at what it has to offer.
My Real Living (Web 2.0) was launched three years ago, well ahead of its time, and offers consumers the opportunity to customize and save searches, receive up-to-date listings,
choose and communicate with an agent, record and store notes about each home, schedule events and track how often their home has been viewed. With 4,000 new registrants each month, Real Living’s Web 2.0 is clearly an effective technological tool that allows consumers to be in control and stay connected to their real estate agent.
Another fun and informal way to search for a home is through Google Maps. Not only do Google Maps provide remarkably clear aerial views, but they also Type in the address of a home you’re interested in and click on “street view.” Street view allows you to evaluate the exterior of the home and get a feel for the neighborhood and community before you visit the location. Scan the area to make note of nearby restaurants and movie theaters too!
By taking advantage of all these tools, you’ll be sure to find the home of your dreams.
