I search internet sites, where I can see all the homes listed, then call a Realtor to show me four or five places. Internet listings are so good these days, with so many pictures, that you have a good idea of what the place is like before you go. The home we have now is the only home I asked to see. The pictures, description and location sounded right, and they were.

Searching the internet lets you see all the homes for sale, not just one a salesperson wants you to see. Also, you can go to the county tax sites, look at the satellite pictures, and see the area, ie busy streets, sewer plants, power lines and location in TV.

When you get to TV, drive around the area you have chosen, and maybe find a FSBO.

Good luck with your search. It can be very time consuming, but well worth the time.
