If you’re shopping for a home, what’s the best way to go about it? You may have a general idea of the area and type of home you want, but you may not feel ready to make a commitment.

This can be like walking into a department store. If a sales person approaches to offer assistance, you say, “No thanks, I’m just looking”. You want to browse and look around on your own without feeling pressured. But when you do see something you like, you’ll wonder where the sales person went, and hope you can get some timely help.

Most home buyers are using the Internet today to shop around on their own for real estate. There are many popular websites where you can do your own property searches, look at the photos and virtual tours, and simply browse.

If you’d like to do some browsing in San Diego or around Rancho Bernardo, Poway, and the I-15 Corridor, you can call George Cooke at Coldwell Banker to get pointed in the right direction. Tell me what you’re looking for and I’ll set you up with a Custom Search that will automatically feed matching properties to your computer as they come on the market.

You can call George at (858) 674-1222 or send an email to George@GeorgeCooke.com.
