You’ve probably either experienced it yourself, or heard about it from your friends – the frustration of trying to find information about the neighbourhood around a house that catches your eye. Imagine this – you’re sitting there on a Sunday evening, checking out properties on your favourite real estate web site, and one of the catches your eye. Before calling on the real estate agent your friends have all been raving about, That Real Estate Guy, Chris Newell, you’d like more information about the neighbourhood.
In the past, your only option was to jump in the car and drive around and see what the area has to offer. That’s a pretty good idea to do anyway, but not necessarily something you want to do on a Sunday night, right? So you make a note to do the driving sometime in the next week, when your hectic schedule allows. Finally, Thursday evening rolls around and you get the chance, only to drive by that great-sounding house to see a SOLD sign on it!
Well, there’s some good news for you now, courtesy of a new Canadian web site that will allow you to let your fingers do the dancing on your keyboard and get the information within a couple of seconds!
