RETURN TO HOMEFrontdoor.com is a leader in the real estate market for giving buyers and sellers expert information on the subject. Brought to you by HGTV, this website is filled to the brim with all of the knowledge that any real estate agent or first time buyer would ever need. I have never seen a variety of guides this large before on any other real estate websites. There are helpful articles for buying and selling, but where Frontdoor.com really succeeds is the City Exploration area. This feature gives new buyers a chance to preview what is going on in the city that they may be relocating to. Real Estate Agents will be happy with knowing that they can come to this website and find out exactly how well the market is doing in just one click. With a great layout and design, and heaps of information, this is an all around great site. I would have to say it is in my list of Top 3 real estate websites.
Buying
The Buying tab is the perfect place for first time home buyers to start their research. Teaching buyers to evaluate their financial situation is sound advice when it comes to buying a new home. Frondoor.com offers many guides that will walk new buyers through the financial stage of buying a house. After establishing how much money you are looking to spend for a new home you should then find an expert real estate agent to help you along the buying process. Under the “Assemble the Experts” section you can find mortgage brokers, real estate agents, as well as helpful guides that can help you find a new home. Choosing a loan can be a hard time if you are younger and have never had to receive a loan from a bank. Why not ask someone that specializes in that area? This website supplies the reader with knowledge that is needed during a big step in life.
Being able to choose the perfect city for your new family, or yourself, is something that every new buyer is seeking help in. Under the buying tab you will be able to view how to choose a neighborhood that is right for you, whether it be for education, or just simple things such as scenery. After a buyer has found the perfect neighborhood for themselves then it comes down to actually searching for the house. This is the area in which all buyers make mistakes in, such as not finding the best price that they could, and getting a bad location. With help from the experts at Frontdoor.com, buyers can feel reassured knowing that their decision is the correct one.
For all of the real estate agents that may be new to the market, Frontdoor.com is the right place to start your research; with hundreds of articles that will help realtors solve almost any problem imaginable. The knowledge of what will make your current home sell for a higher price will be beneficial when trying to buy a new one. Improving areas of your home that real estate agents and buyers search for will help increase the profit margin when selling.
There are a massive amount of steps that must be taken when it comes to selling a home. Holding an Open House can be difficult when a seller has no idea how to go about it. Frontdoor.com helps sellers set up their home the best way possible, while at the same time giving them step by step directions in holding an open house. The only problem that someone can face, even if they set up the perfect open house, is selling at the wrong time. Get tips from professionals to learn how the real estate market is currently doing, and whether to keep your house for a little longer or sell as soon as possible.
Explore Cities
This is by far the best feature that is available on Frontdoor.com. New buyers want to know as much information as they can about the new city that they are relocating to. The Explore Cities tab gives the buyer the option to view in-depth guides to each of the cities available. When you choose a city a short history is presented. Below, you are able to see the best locations to buy a new home, which will help solidify your decision. The “Happenings” tab is a great addition, showing what events are currently being held or coming up in your city of choice. For people with an active lifestyle, and like to go out and enjoy the local activities, the happenings bar is ideal.
Choosing Frontdoor.com as your source for Real Estate information is your first step in the right direction to buying your dream home. What else do you need when this website supplies advice in buying and selling, as well as finding the perfect city to move to? Give Frontdoor.com a shot and see how much it can change your perspective on your real estate decisions.
