The Top 7 Tech Tools for Your Home Search
House hunting for a place that will fit all your aesthetic and functional needs can be difficult. From location and school district to size of the backyard, it can be tough to sift through hundreds of listings. Why make your home search harder than it has to be? Here are our top tech tools picks that will make the home search process (and your life!) a little easier.
1. The Mark Spain Real Estate App for Your Home Search
Get accurate and up-to-date listing information, use the GPS search to pull up listed homes near you, learn about mortgages, taxes, or amenities of homes you like, and contact a Mark Spain Real Estate representative directly from the app!
2. Real Estate by Zillow
One of our top favorites hands down has to be Zillow! Hand-draw your desired search region, filter by agent or by owner listing, and determine if your favorite listing is a new listing or even a foreclosure. All this and real-time email notifications as new listings pop up makes Zillow perfect for those looking to move quickly.
3. ShowingTime
ShowingTime gives you the control of showings and lets you determine the best times for your schedule. This system verifies that the agent is licensed and in good standing, making it the most secure showing in Georgia and allows you to approve showings via your phone, email, or text message.
