How it goes
- Fill in the coupon. Your name, number, the town or ZIP you like and a line about what matters to you.
- We ring you. We ask about timing, rough budget and must-haves, and explain what we can and cannot do.
- We dig. Several sources instead of one, with the details checked against each other.
- You get the short list. Notes and questions included. What you do with it is up to you.
What you get
The search
We go through big portals, MLS-fed broker sites and county records for homes or rentals that fit what you told us.
The checking
How long a place has sat, whether the price moved, what the fees and taxes are, and anything that looks off.
The short list
A handful of places with notes and questions to ask. When you are ready to offer or apply, you use a licensed professional you choose.
The details are on the search help page. Not sure what you want yet? Start with the wish list builder.
Weighing Realtor.com, Zillow, Homes.com and Redfin?
We wrote a side-by-side look at the big search sites, with sources and dates. We also offer search help, so it is not a neutral review, and the page says that up front. Read the comparison.
What we are not
We help with searching. We are not a real estate brokerage. We do not list, sell, rent or finance property, bargain for you or hold anyone’s deposit or money. When you are ready to make an offer or apply, work with a properly licensed agent, lender or attorney of your choice.
