We're constantly hearing about credit scores, where to get a free credit report and there're are plenty of people out there that want our money to "fix" our score.

The good news is, you can use many of these sites and never enter your information. I have found that the less intrusive one is Realtor.com, it also happens to be the only one with real time updates tied directly to Realtors MLS systems nationwide. I am going to show you how to set up a search that will remove the houses you likely wouldn't want and focus results on the Homes you'll love. Let's get right to it ... |
