Searching the Internet, we all do it every day. Whether you’re looking for real estate or a Betty Crocker cookie recipe, the best (only) way to find things on the Internet is to search… Who wants to type in www anyways? I use Firefox as my default browser, and love using the built in Google search bar. Instead of having to leave the page I’m on, I simply type what I’m looking for and I’m brought right to my search results, couldn’t be quicker.

Here at HouseFront we’ve brought that same quick search ability to the real estate game. Using either Internet Explorer or Firefox (the two most popular browsers on the Internet), you can now optimize your real estate search experience. The following tutorial explains how to add real estate search to your Firefox or Internet Explorer search bar.

Adding Real Estate Search:

Firefox

1. Navigate to HouseFront.com

2. Click on the Google logo next to your search bar (Google is the default search for FireFox)

3. You will see the option to “Add HouseFront Search”, clicking that will add the ability to quickly look up properties without having to navigate to HouseFront.com. Instead, you will be taken directly to the property details page of the address you searched.

Internet Explorer
1. Adding real estate search to your Internet Explorer search bar is almost identical, except you click the magnifying glass (in the top right corner) and then pick the option “Add Search Providers”, you will then see the option for HouseFront Search.

Adding HouseFront Search allows you to look up detailed property information on over 100 million homes instantly, no matter where you are on the web…who could ask for more; give it a try, let us know what you think.
