If you're searching for a home these days one of the first things you are likely evaluating when a new listing pops is all of the photos of the house.

Thankfully, many or most new listings include great photos of the house, sometimes even including aerial photos.

But, the photos only take you so far.

Before you even step foot into the home you can often understand the house and its layout a bit more than what the photos might allow by reviewing the floor plan, a 3D walk through or a video of the home.

Not all new listings include these additional ways to understand and evaluate the house -- and when they do, this additional information is not always easily accessible on all real estate websites and apps.

If you see a new listing of interest, and you like what you see in the photos, but aren't quite sure how all of the spaces in the photos fit together -- feel free to text, email or call me and I can check to see if there are floor plans, a 3D walk through or a video for the listing of interest.

We will then, of course, learn the most about the house by walking through it together... but let's start by reviewing as much information as is available to us about each new listing!
