Online House Hunting in Grand Junction
Hunting for a new Grand Junction home online is a great place to start your search, but don’t let it be your end all be all. A great listing agent will highlight all the best features of the home, but keep in mind - for a buyer - there may be more than meets the eye. To make the most of your time and efforts and gather a well-rounded picture of home listings online, keep the following three things in mind.
Stay up to date. When you start your search, make sure you find a site that pulls up-to-date listings directly from the multiple listing service (MLS) where local Grand Junction Realtors actively post our most current homes for sale. Many online resources update less often or fail to remove listings that are off the market, making it more difficult to sort through the clutter. I find that Realtor.com is one of the best home search websites you can use!
Pictures can be misleading. Real estate photographers are hired to feature a home in the best possible light. Some use tools and strategies to boost appeal, such as a fisheye lens to make areas look larger and creative editing to make colors and textures really pop. But, keep in mind these photos may not really show the unappealing parts of the home, like small closets or outdated bathrooms.
See it to believe it. Once you find your dream home online, let me know so we can get a showing set-up! You will want to take the opportunity to see the home in person and make sure it truly is a good fit for you and your family before beginning the offer process.
