Are there any websites that allow me to search for houses in a radius? (agent, broker)

I want to look in a 15 mile radius. The closest thing I found was Zillow let me go by commute time. However, I noticed they didn't include homes that I knew were in the time specified.
Our MLS does... and I use the radius or freehand map search on client searches far more often than any type of database search by county, town or community name.
Do you have an agent looking for you? I don't think our MLS is special or more advanced than any other in its features. A local agent could probably set you up with an email search on that and your other criteria.
I'd do it for you, but you'd have to want a place in Western Washington.
Yes, there are many. Most MLS allow a radius search. Go meet some buyer agents and if you like one hire them and they'll set it up for you. It's the freshest information available too!
Realtor.com has a map view, and while I don't think you can designate a mile radius you can see the homes within a certain area and use the red bar to move the map to search homes in an area nearby.
and in the filters you can expand your current search area by 1, 5, 10 or 20 miles.

Can you do it for the iPad? I'm not seeing it.
I'm just browsing so I don't want to bother an agent.
if you're just looking for entertainment value, then it would seem current resources are sufficient. Certainly one of the local brokerage sites allows you to draw a radius. I now that ours has a map search including drawing a radius.
if you're browsing in anticipation of dong something within 12 months, and need to specifically make sure it's a 15 mile radius of some point, then you're not wasting any agent's time by interviewing several and picking one - that's for now at least. The only time someone is a bother is when they make demands for time >> their need.

The thing is that I'm not familiar with the area, so I don't know what X miles gives me. There's a lot of little villages, hamlets, etc that I don't know much about. I just wish I could draw a circle.
then I'd suggest you go to the websites of the 3 largest brokerages in your area, and see if their website allows a map-drawing function. Certainly one of the 3 will.

I can use Zillow to draw a freehand irregular area using the circle function on the zillow map.
