  1. Stay up to date. When you start your search, make sure you find a site that pulls up-to-date listings directly from the multiple listing service (MLS) where real estate agents actively post their most current homes for sale. Many online resources (some that start with “Z” 😉 )update less often or fail to remove listings that are off the market, making it more difficult to sort through the clutter.  My mobile search app, which IS well synched with the MLS, can be downloaded here:  David Isaac’s KW mobile app.
  4. Finally, if you’re having a hard time finding the right home, enlist the help of a Realtor.  A skilled Realtor can utilize the search criteria within their MLS, and those tools are far more powerful than those of the popular online resources available to the public.  Make sure to sit down and talk with a few Realtors.  There are thousands of them, and one is sure to demonstrate skill and integrity that sets him or her apart.  

Happy House Hunting!!
