Description
Ready to buy a new house--or ready to put yours on the market? Before you go too much further, you may want to spend some time looking at the valuable information posted at Homegain.com. Since 1999, this company has provided resources about buying and selling homes for both homeowners and real estate agents. Owners of the site say that their primary offering is its screening function for qualified real estate agents, but they also offer a number of calculators, checklists and evaluators that can aid in understanding the whole process of buying or selling a home. You need to register to try these tools, but the process is simple and free.
In addition to the real estate agent search, you can find out how much your home is currently worth, view homes now on the market (new, existing and foreclosures), and get mortgage quotes from a variety of lenders. Be sure to visit its real estate library where you can find articles on such topics as: financing, buying strategies, money and taxes, hidden costs of owning a home and how to market your home. On its Real Estate Resources page, you can find information on a variety of subjects including a real estate glossary, neighborhood reports, insurance quotes, moving companies and credit scores. Realtors can become a member of this site for a monthly fee.
