can point you to websites and specific webpages where you can:
• See pictures of homes available, including in some cases
individual rooms and other property features.
• Get property details, such as lot size, number of bedrooms,
square footage, and other features.
• Find information on the neighborhood and surrounding area,
such as the location of schools, parks and public transit.
• Take a “virtual tour” (when available), which allows you to
view a home on your computer almost as if you were
walking through it in real life.
Previewing specific homes online can save you a lot of time. You
can quickly get a sense for whether or not a property meets
your basic criteria before traveling to see it in person.
But there is a downside to relying too much on the internet to
preview homes.
Pictures and descriptions on the internet don’t always tell the
whole story. It’s entirely possible for a home to look
unappealing to you on a website, yet turn out to be the perfect
home when you actually go to see it. (Imagine not seeing it and
missing out on that potential dream home.)
In addition, even these days, some homes are listed and sold so
fast that they never make it to the internet. So if you rely too
much on websites to find homes, you might miss out on
opportunities.
The solution? Work with a REALTOR® who knows how to findhomes on the market that are a good match for you, and knows
how to make the entire home buying process go quickly and
smoothly.
