There were so many things that we noticed while on vacation from a BUYERS PERSPECTIVE that I just have to blog about them.  The first post I did Observations From The Road - A Realtor® Turned Buyer: Outdoor Flyers got a ton of comments and opinions about Outdoor Flyers but I think my post may have been a bit misunderstood.  Again, these posts are from a buyer's perspective.  So, if you missed that post and want to catch up just click the link above.  Before leaving on our trip I had already had MANY apps loaded on my Android X for Real Estate.  Here are few that we used - the ones we absolutely LOVED and the ones that didn't work so well for us.  These are just our opinions.

This past week was filled with family, fun and sun!  And a little house-hunting.  Okay, a LOT of house hunting!  It was wonderful to take off my Realtor® hat and not answer the phone (I did occasionally), not answer the emails (unless they were critical) and to just enjoy my family and time away from home. It's always interesting to see what is going on real estate wise in other parts of the country, different terms that are used and how homes are advertised.  This trip was no exception and the lessons learned were invaluable.  Through a series of posts I thought I would give my opinions on what we saw or didn't see and hopefully give us all a little something to think about. First up is OUTDOOR FLYERS!  I have never been huge on flyers.  They are a pain to keep up to date with informat... 11/14/2010
