On the homepage I have a few ways to navigate to the features of the page. There is also twitter feed from all of the hottest real estate trends so people can find them right on the homepage
I created a checklist so people can keep track of what to do while they are looking for homes. The site is responsive and mobile friendly so they can add items right from their phone while getting ideas of what needs to done in order to purchase their dream home.
I thought that having the zillow api would be the most accurate way of having people be able to search for a home from my website so I added the zillow search api.
Happy House Hunting!!!!
