89% of all buyers start their home search online to make that home purchase.  Most searched sites are Realtor.com, Truila.com, Zillow.com, Yahoo.com and Google.com.   So if you thought that the news paper was the only place home buyers are looking you where wrong.  Did you also know that real estate agents play a very important role in finding you the right home?  They can help you narrow down your home search and handle the endless amount of paperwork involved in getting the home you want fast.  Most real estate agents work full time in the business have the knowledge of the market to make sure that you don’t overpay for the home that you are looking for, so when you are ready to make that home purchase make sure you call your local real estate agent. 

Have you checked to see if you’re on google.com?  If you haven’t yet checked to see if you are on Google take a look today to see what is on the site about you and/or your company.  This could be hurting you and/or your company if you have negative information on it. 

Well you made the right decision if you have made your purchase or are about too.  Prices we feel are at the bottom and will only start to come up over the next few years.  So if you are sitting on the fence I would start to get off and take advantage of all the incentives available ($8,000 tax credit) to buy that first, second or investment property.  Don’t be one of the buyers buying at the peak price in the market. Buy NOW! Check out these websites when you start your home search (www.realtor.com, www.google.com, www.truila.com, www.weichert.com, www.hibblerealty.com).
