Edi - as a member of the church's real estate committee I am inthe process of finding homes to hav our realtor show us - I have been using the Multiple Listing service to locate homes and then I drive past them, slowly, sometimes several times and then I drive slowly around the neighorhood trying to decide if I like the look of the neighborhood and whetehr it is worthwhile making an appointmemtn to see the inside of the house....
