House Hunting with a Realtor Once the Realtor has a clear understanding understanding of what you want and what you can afford, you're ready to view prospective homes. This is where the Realtor's knowledge of the market will really pay off - and save you a lot of unnecessary time looking at homes that aren't right for you. No matter what kind of condition the market is in, house hunting isn't a process that should be rushed. How long will it take and how many hous es arc you going to see? The answer is different for every buyer. However, it's a good idea to look at a few rather than many. If you and the Realtor have done yoùr homework, ideally, you should only have to visit a handful of homes to make an informed and wise selection. Much of your search can be done through the Multiple Listing Service and preliminary discussions with the Realtor. As you visit and react to each home you see, the Realtor will have an increasingly better idea of what you want and don't want and will refine the search process until you find the house that is just right for you.
