We had very good luck with HomeFinder.com for both apartments and houses. Still, we used the assistance of realtors that came personally recommended by friends and family

Trulia and Zillow are pretty good apps. Craigslist but that can be sketchy.

Realtor app, zillow, get yourself a good mortgage guy before you even start looking.

realtor.com has the most up to date information uploaded directly from the MLS system.

Well I don't know who does the placing of info when a house goes on sale, but when I was buying, my biggest resource was Zillow because I didn't want to just see what my home was selling for, I wanted to see what the neighbors homes were selling for to see if it was comparable. I also wanted to see what school district my house fell in because as a father I obviously want to send my kids to a decent school.

When I was looking to buy a house, I used a realtor that a buddy of mine used because I could trust him. But when I was doing all my research, I got all my info from Zillow.

I am a real estate agent in Las Vegas NV...i was here before, during and after the real estate market went tits up. During the robust foreclosure market we received tons of requests for homes all over the country, so we developed a up to minute resource much better than Zillow, Trulia and even Realtor.com. our local platform is http://www.allstarslasvegas.com and we can access all local markets across the country, all for free. Take a look at our local and let me know what area you are in to access your local platform. Good luck and Happy House Hunting...HHH

I've always just hired a realtor. They handle the sales aspect freeing you for both the house hunt and home prep. Of course, I know my go-to realtor personally so it makes trust a little easier. Other than that, Zillow
