We’ve tried to give you a variety of ways to search.  The easiest way is to sign up for free listing alerts.  We’ll do the work and there’s no obligation.  Sit back and receive listings to your email.  If you want to be more involved you can visit our home search page and search the MLS, search by price, search by type and more.

Generally speaking the seller pays the commissions to both the listing agent (representing seller) and the buyers agent.

The best way of finding an agent is by referral.  If you’ve had a friend or family member that had a exceptional experience with a realtor that’s a great start.  Reasearching online is also a very good way….look for activity level and read reviews and realtor testimonials.

Yes.  We highly recommend that you get preapproved for a home loan.  Keep in mind that a preapproval does not cost anything and does not obligate you to work with that lender.

You never know when the perfect home will come along and as it’s customary to provide a preapproval letter with an offer (and sellers likely won’t consider an offer without one) it’s much better and less stressful to take care of that when there’s no time pressure.
