When buying a house one of the deciding factors besides location is the schools. Finding the right school for your children just became easier with the new Mobile iPhone or iPad App: by GreatSchools Finder.
As a La Jolla real estate agent I can advise our clients on real estate related issues such as: finding a home inspector, lenders, or helping our clients go through local disclosures but giving an opinion on the quality of a particular school is not appropriate or legal. I advise my clients to visit local schools, check out boundary lines and ask other parents for their opinions. Another tool for parents to use is the Mobile iPhoneApp: GreatSchools Finder.
How good are the schools in your community? Find out with the free GreatSchools Finder.
With the GPS feature on the app you can locate and map nearby elementary, middle, and high schools or search listings across the U.S. It will give detailed ratings, reviews, and test scores of any school your interested in.
