You can run an advanced search for what you are looking for and several listings are at your fingertips in seconds. Click on the listing and see pictures and details on the property. It also can put you in contact with a listing agent.

The Real Estate Book has numerous listings and who is listing homes in your area. This may help you narrow your search if you are unsure of whom you would like to use as your buyers agent. If you are selling a home, this may also help you choose a listing agent!

Surf these sites and do a little research. Find a realtor you are comfortable with and one who is well respected. Remember, a buyer’s agent works for you, but is paid from the sellers proceeds. A good agent will earn your trust, and their commission, by getting you the best deal on your new home.
