According to the 2012 NAR (National Association of Realtors) profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, most buyers look to the local Multiple Listing Service website to view local listings prior to purchase. Next, they look at Realtor.com, the gorilla website in America, followed closely by agent's websites.The NAR study puts company websites (pitty!) and other websites like Trulia last at 13% each. It was surprising that mobile and tablet apps were at 39%! I use the one for Realtor.com on my iPad for showing as it uses geocoding as a sort feature and I can find the homes closest to me.
