The best real estate agents are not only experts on houses, but they know the ins-and-outs of the neighborhoods they sell in. Buyers are understandably curious about local schools, demographics, housing prices, etc. Trulia.com will equip you with statistics about education, crime rates, community resources, local housing trends, average commute times and much more.
