Be prepared to take off work, look at a house, and make a decision in the same day, if you really want a good deal.if you set up alerts with a good MLS site, you can get a good jump on stuff as soon as it goes on the market without having to wait for your realtor to tell you about it. thats how I found my house, looked at it the day after it went on the market, wrote up a contract that night, and had to compete with at least 10 other contracts on the table.
