Tips for Newbies

[Bryan L.]

I just thought that I would take a few minutes and put a tip out there for the newbies. Who knows, maybe I will do this on a regular basis. Today's tip:

You can set up an account at Realtor.com to save your searches and email you with new listings and price changes. It's easy to do, and the website will automatically email you with new listings and price changes that meet your search criteria. Most Realtors can do this for you too directly out of their MLS.

Become a realtor -- makes sense -- you get access to all property listings and the training inherent in becoming a realtor. Are there other benefits as well?

You get paid a commission when you buy and you don't pay half the commission when you sell.

You can view properties at any time without needing someone else present.
