"For first-time homebuyers home shopping is an exciting, though nerve-wracking, experience," says Julia Foster, PR Manager for Fizber.com. "We aim to provide home buyers with the latest statistical information and analysis of housing trends so they can make informed decisions".

Fizber.com serves as an one-stop real estate website resource that helps buyers figure out what they can afford by finding good mortgage companies that can pre-qualify them; find certified home inspectors to take a professional look at the property; help with information regarding moving companies, local home services and learning more about the neighborhood.

Fizber.com understands how important for home buyers is to be aware of nearby infrastructure to make their choice. Fizber Drive Score (http://drivescore.fizber.com/) gives buyers a comprehensive evaluation of a property and the surrounding area by calculating a score based on the number of places within a convenient driving distance from a certain home address.

With Street View (http://streetview.fizber.com/), visitors can virtually explore city neighborhoods by viewing and navigating within 360-degree scenes of street-level imagery. It feels as if you're walking down the street, without ever having left the comfort of your current home.

The development of online communication seems to evolve overnight and consumers are learning and using it immediately. Fizber.com provides sellers with cutting-edge Web 2.0 tools to showcase their property efficiently and effectively without the high fees associated with a realtor. Fizber.com lets home sellers place their listing (http://www.fizber.com/home-for-sale/index.html) and add the listing to 70 partner sites. Over 80% of home buyers start their search on the Internet, so having it advertised on Fizber.com, the real estate website resource will save sellers time, money and will result in maximum exposure.

To help their homes catch the eyes of buyers, sellers are putting money into improving their homes. Fizber.com has created a Home Stagers Directory to assist homeowners in finding a professional stager in their area. To better address their clients' needs, Fizber.com has also launched a Videographers Directory where one can find a local videographer to get a custom video tour of their property for sale.
