Error handling Selenium if element doesn't exist

I'm trying to write and if/else statement if my find_element_by_xpath returns a valid element or not an

price = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='price']").text
location = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='listing__address']").text

if (SOMETHINGGOESHEREIFELEMENTEXISTS)
    print(price, location)
    driver.quit()
else:
    print("QUITING!")
    driver.quit()

In both cases I want to do a driver.quit.

thanks.

As per the docs, find_element_by_xpath() raises a NoSuchElementException exception when it fails. Then the following should work:

try:
    price = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='price']").text
    location = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='listing__address']").text
    print(price, location)
except NoSuchElementException:
    print("QUITTING!")
driver.quit()
