Liz Crawford will not venture from her sofa for anything less than a two bedroom condo with a parking lot, washer and dryer. At the same time, she looks for homes by searching the list of Norfolk, Va., houses in her price range which is emailed to her automatically from the real estate broker's website. If she finds something interesting, then her agent will send her the full listings and they hardly ever speak over the phone!

Crawford says, "It is really nice to stay at home and do the searching" she also added "When it comes to searching a house it is definitely a tedious task." These great online real estate websites have become an established part, when it comes to home buying or selling process over the past few years, and these websites do offer a wider variety of services and helpful tips; in some cases it also brings positive relationships between the sellers, buyers and the real estate agents.
