How do I find out more about an area when house shopping?
We’re going house shopping soon. I realize realtors can not really talk about the crime rates in the area, the demographics of the area, things like that. But where can I find information on the safety of the area? We live in some apartments right now, and I would say this is a high crime area, as there are many break ins and obvious drug use in the apartments across the fence from here. (One of the reasons why we’re moving and getting a house).
Any help would be appreciated!

Are there referral commissions?
I have a couple of individuals looking for a home equity loan … I told them I’d look into it for them. I’d like to find a quality vendor, but if referrals commissions are paid out, I’d like to negotiate for that too.
How do I figure out what is a “great deal”?
PS. I’ll happily take general replies but this would be specific to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
