Searching the local newspaper is a thing of the past. Why wait for the next issue to be printed when you can find the most up to date real estate listings with just a simple click of your mouse?! Here are my top 3 clicks!! The Portland Press Herald, a local newspaper in Maine, offers real estate listings on their site at http://realestate.mainetoday.com/. This site not only lists real estate, they have great tools to aid you in your home buying decision. They provide information on the weather and climate, available healthcare facilities, facts and figures, schools and so much more! The listings have easy to view pictures, some with virtual tours, a mortgage calculator, home details and all the pertinent information of the listing agent. …show more content…

Another must see site is http://www.realtor.com/. This site also offers some great tools such as local mortgage rates, market conditions, check your credit and what your home is worth. The listings are full of information including the property details, when it was listed, maps, schools, neighborhood information and so much more! There are even links for moving and storage quotes as well as insurance quotes. You can save, email or print the listing of your choice right from their site. Last but not least is http://www.homes.com/. This site, much like the others, provides a great deal of information. Each listing provides and overview of the property with tools to compare mortgage rates, find schools, map it, financing and area facts, to name just a few. Of course they offer a mortgage calculator, other lenders help and so much more! This site offers saving, printing, emailing and even posting a link of any listing to Facebook, Twitter, Google, MySpace and more! Overall, this is my favorite of the three. Ssshhh, don't tell the others. What are you waiting for? Start clicking and find your dream home in Maine now! Happy Home …show more content…

Through this website you can view the local real estate agencies who have a website. Clicking on a local real estate agency, you can view the homes they have listed for sale via their website. On the butler webs website, you can also click on a neighborhood and see the local listings in that area. These are posted numerous agencies. Not only one agency is listed on the neighborhood section. You can view the schools and shopping malls/stores closest to you in that neighborhood. For low income families, there is a link that will direct you to the subsidized apartments available. From there, you can also be directed if you choose, to the agency that helps people find, apply and qualify for these homes. Many of the listings in this section however, did not have a website. If you are interested in the subsidized section of apartments/homes, you can call the phone numbers listed under each section. Another local website listed is the Burford and Henry real estate agency website. If you are not directed to the web sight automatically, it is www.burfordandhenry.com. On this website you will find farms, land, rentals and residential dwellings for sale. I like this web sight the most because of the prices being listed next to the homes. You also get a visual of the homes. This agency takes crisp, clear pictures of the homes on their web sight.
