What you see is what you get?

An article in a recent newspaper real estate section referred to buyers being very specific in what they want.  It also said how the internet helps buyers find that perfect kitchen with the granite counters, stainless appliances, etc.  I agree that the internet can be a great resource.  However,  don’t be too quick to fall in love with a property that looks good or write off one that doesn’t look very good in the pictures.  I’ve seen some great homes with lousy pictures posted on the web and also have been very dissapointed in homes that looked great in the online pictures and virtual tour.  In many cases a Realtor that is familiar with homes in the neighborhood you are looking at can give you some insight into what to actually expect when you look at the home in person.�
