House Hunt: Finding the Right Home

Searching for the right new home to invest in can be a great challenge today with busy schedules and not enough time to tour homes or browse the Web.

The House Hunt column is dedicated to providing a timely resource to locate some homes for sale in the Brookfield area. Our main focus will be providing home listings that have an upcoming "Open House" coordinated by area real estate agents.
