It's almost always helpful to do a drive by of a new listing to see what might not have quite made it into the photo you're seeing online.
Oftentimes, you won't find any surprises.
But plenty of times, you will...
- a neighboring house that is super close to the house you like
- many neighbors who do not seem to own lawn mowers
- high voltage power lines behind the house
- a super steep driveway leading up to the house
You get the picture. ;-)
When marketing a house, a seller or seller's agent or photographer are rarely going to accentuate those "just outside the frame" features that might make you a bit less excited about the house. When you drive by, you'll be able to pick up on many more of those details that may affect your interest level.
This is not to say that you should drive by a house before we schedule a time to go see the house -- it is merely to point out that driving by will often show a fuller context of a house than just what is presented in the photos!
