Buying a home? Looking to rent? You must check out online sources first! Let your computer be the Realtor! There is no reason on earth why you should pay someone thousands of dollars to find you a house. Use an online Realtor and pay a membership fee, that's it. They are typically under $100 per year and when compared to what realtor's cost the price isn't that bad.

I've bought and sold many houses online, and it is very easy once you get used to it. You can always find the cheapest prices with diligent research!
