As a future first time home buyer in the Philadelphia area there are many things I’m going to look for in a real estate website: multiple property photos, detailed neighborhood information, financing options and moving tips.

CENTURY 21Advantage Gold teamed up with REALTOR.com to provide buyers and sellers with the best real estate experience possible. It is like other real estate sites you can search for properties by area, price range, and preferred number of bedrooms. But unlike those sites, the Realtor.com experience provides you with finely detailed information that sets them apart from other search results and helps me make a better decision.

Once you enter your search preferences a list of properties will appear with a percentage of how close they match to your entries. Click on a property you are interested in and you are provided with detailed information.  A large photo gallery will appear along with property features and direct contact information for the selling agent. Of of the more unique and useful options is to look at the neighborhood info. This page tells you how close the property is to shopping, places of worship, public services and recreation areas.

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell for the first time or the third time, I enjoyed the Realtor.com as a unique website that made my real estate experience simple and enjoyable.
