One place to start when looking for your house is to view the properties listed here. We have developed a Locality Index showing properties that are available in various communities … they are all sorted by County and then by Zip Code.
There are also other sites that list home for sale. You can Contact Us to find out about any of them. We can discuss your needs and our agent will explain the process to you, including what it means if we are working as your Buyer’s Agent.
Here’s a brief description of how it works. When a house is listed for sale by any area broker, the home’s vital statistics are fed into the computer: the lot size; the age and kind of home (condo, townhouse, single family); style (colonial, contemporary, Cape Cod, etc.): material (brick, stone, wood); the number, size, and use of rooms (4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, kitchen, living and dining rooms, family room, finished basement and attic, foyer, utility room, garage).
Also included are features (fireplace, walkout deck, patio, wooded lot); equipment (stove, dishwasher, carpeting, etc.); the heating and/or cooling systems; the water and sewage systems; the annual taxes; the mortgage balance, monthly payments and the amount of cash a buyer would need to assume the existing mortgage (if it’s assumable), or the amount of cash required if the seller offers to take a second mortgage; and, finally, the price.
