Welcome to the latest series at JosephSangl.com – "Helpful Real Estate Sites".

It is my hope that this series will equip you with new information that helps you make excellent real estate decisions!

Part One – Realtor.com

I have used Realtor.com to find each of the four houses that I have purchased.

This web site is an excellent way to understand market prices and to understand market availability.

Here are some specific reasons I love Realtor.com:

• Easy to search  You are able to select the specific items you are interested in.  For example, if you are interested in a three bedroom, two bathroom house with a garage, you can search for that.  If you want to search for listings that include land, then you can select that also.  Another key search criteria is square footage.
• Price range specific  You can search for specific price ranges of houses within your set criteria.  This really helps one understand what is available within that price range.
• Listings are mapped  You can see all of the listings on a map.  This is a great feature that allows you to understand the inventory available within the location you have selected.
• Pictures  Many of the listings have photos of the exterior and interior.  Instead of setting up a walkthrough, you can do so from your computer!
• Seamlessness  Once you find some homes that you are interested in, you can select "Request a showing" from the actual listing.  Awesome!

Those are some of the reasons that I love Realtor.com.  Have you used this resource before?
