There’s more information on the Internet than in the entire collection of the U.S. Library of Congress. (And that’s the largest library in the world!) So it makes sense to use the Internet as a resource when shopping for a new home.
You can search for the kind of property you’re considering, view pictures of available properties that meet your criteria, and, in some cases, even watch virtual tours of those properties.
The Internet is a useful home shopping tool. It can save you a lot of time. But it can’t replace working with a good REALTOR®, and actually going to see the various properties.
Think of it this way. Would you marry someone you met online but never got to meet in person? Of course you wouldn’t. That would be a recipe for disaster!
The same holds true when shopping for a new home.
The Internet can help you shortlist the properties you would like to see, and perhaps provide a sense of the area. But only by working with a good REALTOR® like me, can you get the real insights you need into the homes available on the market, and then determine the ones that would potentially be ideal for you.
So when shopping for a new home, don’t hesitate to ask me how best to use the Internet. I can direct you to websites and web tools that will help make the home shopping experience much more enjoyable and productive, while at the same time, provide you with the personal attention you need to ultimately purchase the home of your dreams.
