21st Century Home Buyers and Renters in Queens NYC

By D Lucas Real Estate Team

Where Home Buyers Start their Search in Queens

Back in the bad old days of real estate, you didn’t have a choice.

You only had one way you could search through homes for sale and apartments for rent in the Queens NYC neighborhood you wanted to live in.

And that was to make an appointment with a local real estate broker’s office to flip through pages of the Multiple Listing Service book.

Flash forward to 2012 and you can see the incredible changes the Internet forced old businesses, like real estate, to make for 21st century home buyers.

All those changes have given you the power to search and compare properties available in neighborhoods you want to live in without limitation.

Home Buyers Searching in Queens NYC

Welcome to the 21st century, where the Internet rules and anyone with an IPad, smart phone or laptop computer can search online for homes and apartments available.

While you can start out using websites like Trulia, Zillow or Realtor, more people are finding properties through Internet search engines like Google.

Whether you’re starting online at a consumer real estate website or typing a specific search phrase into Google’s entry field, you’d assume that both approaches would return the same results.

But that’s where you’re wrong and here’s why …

Trulia, Zillow and Realtor don’t have every listing

Most visitors to general real estate websites don’t know that, at best, only have 60% of all property listings available at any point in time in a given location.

Which is why you should use Internet search engines to find every property available in the neighborhood you want to live in.

You already use Bing, Yahoo and Google to find restaurants, hair salons and dentists.  You also use it to find reviews to read about products and services you’re considering.

And since Google made real estate listings searchable back in 2009, typing in a searchable phrase will return every possible listing that fits your description.

Just like in the example below.

Corley Realty Group, Inc.
David helped me and my family buy our first home in Cambria Heights and was there to help us deal with each step so we wouldn't experience the kind of stress I've heard others go through. I wouldn't recommend working with another broker.
