[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 721504, member: 18516"] when we moved from Colo to the Midwest 17 years ago I did use the internet. There was one realtor's website that said "if you're relocating, we are here to help you" I clicked on it and filled out the information of what we were looking for. I never heard back from them. I sent them at least 10 emails - nothing! My husband had to come back here when his mom had surgery. I told him to look around and find an area that he thought we would like. While he was here he stopped into a local real estate agency to get an area map and the realtor who helped him ended up being our realtor. She emailed me listings regularly. When husband and I both came back to look at houses she was so awesome!! We have remained friends all these years. Go with your gut, if you feel the slightest icky feeling about a realtor don't use them. It's also okay to ask for references. When you give them a $$$ amount and they want to show you listings that are over that, remind them once what your budget is, if they keep at it, get a new realtor. Take good notes of what you are looking at along with pictures. Make a list of pros and cons for each property you look at. It's always exciting looking at property but can also take a toll on the nerves. Happy hunting!! [/QUOTE]
