Hey Deb: Isn't technology wonderful. Now you can see the inside photos as well as the outside online. Many have virtual tours so it is almost like being there and you can chose which fits your needs better or those you just don't like at all. I hope you get lots of calls.
By the way, tonight I went to a customer appreciation dinner/open house in a new home community. One of the homeowners I met was just relocated here from Illinois. They found the house they purchased online and bought it because of the wonderful photos. Internet shopping, even for homes works out well!
