Quicken Insurance is another good place to hunt for home, life or car policies. No real estate site promises to let you do everything online, but many let you tour thousands of homes, hundreds of miles away, any time of day. The site walks you through every stage of buying or selling a home, including advice on moving. You can hunt for a house by clicking on a map or typing in an address or a zip code, or you can screen neighborhoods on such attributes as school quality, average home costs or crime statistics. Buyers can take advantage of extras, like online maps and community information, and they can usually e-mail sellers directly with questions, or even offers.
Real Estate can be especially useful-and entertaining.
Type in an address and see the most recent selling price for that property. Start at E-Loan , which has more than 70 mortgage partners and is licensed to do business in 45 states as either a broker or lender. In addition to its extensive network, E-Loan offers an easy way to compare different products, apply for a loan and track its status. A search often won't give you an exact match, but it usually finds a close fit. Select a car and compare the manufacturer's price with the Carsdirect price.
