Are you planning on buying a home in Orange County?

Thanks to the Internet 92% of consumers now start their search online right from the comfort of their home.

To start searching for a home today, online, we’ve compiled the best tips that will help you to find the home of your dreams.

What Websites To Use  

The first step to follow when searching for a home online is to use your favorite search engine to do a basic keyword search like: “Orange County home”, “Irvine homes for sale”, or “Orange County homes for sale”.

By doing a simple keyword search you can easily find homes listed in the area that you want to move and you can also view additional information per each home like: selling price, square footage, bedrooms & bathrooms, yard space and more.

Local Realtors

You can also view homes for sale in your area simply by finding out which Realtors there are in your area and then contacting them through their website for so they can set you up with an automated search of homes in your criteria. Once you have a Realtor, you can then view which homes they have listed for the areas that you want to move to and ultimately schedule a showing of the homes that you are interested in.

Industry Websites

Besides using the websites for local Realtors to find out which homes are for sale in your local area you can also use nationwide industry websites like: www.realtor.com and www.Zillow.com homes that have been listed across the United States. Although these are suitable sources, you are very limited in the information you are able to obtain versus having a Real Estate professional who can provide personalized service and an expert opinion based on the criteria you provide them.
