I always look online. There is a very good selection available online in the US and they usually provide a decent amount of information and pictures, but I find this isn't true for Europe. There doesn't seem to be any real authority sites. Atleast those that are found via English searching. Most are designed terribly and lack information.

So, am I right in the assumption that most people use real estate agents as opposed to online browsing?
