Can I search by what the house is made of?Like brick house Vs wood house or metal cover? Please.

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:51:00 GMT

I want to buy only brick houses but when I do a search now, I need to go through all the wood and metal frame house. Please make it so that I would only see brick house. Thank you very much and I believe if your site could do this and a lot of people will flock to you. Thank you very much for what you have done and I wish you would just do a little bit more for common folks like me. Thank you.

How do i know if an appraisel is accurate and the appraiser was honest?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:56:00 GMT

I bought a condo in June and the bank i used gave me the appraisel report that stated the property was the EXACT amount of the purchase price. I find this highly odd. Could it be that since the bank wants me to take out the loan they asked the appraiser to put the same exact amount rather then a lower amount so that we would g ahead with the purchase and take out the loan?
