Improvements To Our Tampa Real Estate Website
March 7th, 2007 categories: Tampa Real Estate, Tampa Homes, Tampa MLS, Tampa Realtor
It used to be that searching for a home to purchase was difficult because a prospective buyer did not have access to the information that is so easily shared today via the internet. You had to scan the classified newspaper ads, scan the home magazines, etc. But the information was poorly organized and the searching was done in a very inefficient, time consuming manner.
So many home buyers employed the services of a Realtor who had access to a database of homes for sale, and who could search more efficiently using the criteria supplied by their clients. But now the information in those databases, also know as the Multiple Listing Services or MLSs, is shared freely across thousands of public websites.
We have, for a long time, made this information freely available on our home search website, SearchTheTampaMLS.com
And now we have made it even easier to search for homes by adding a map search tool so that users can select a specific region on the map, and using additional criteria, the user sees a graphical display that shows where each of the resulting properties is located.
Users can also set up and save their own personal searches, and have new listings e-mailed to them as they become available on the MLS. A “Favorites” feature is also available whereby a user can tag their favorite properties to easily locate them when they next login to the home search site.
But as Realtors, finding the ideal neighborhood and home for our clients is what we do. The Realtor MLS is a much more detailed database with much more data on the homes listed for sale than is available on the public websites. Looking for homes with a tile roof only? We can search for and find them. Are wood floors a must have? We can locate the homes with wood floors for you. Need a garden bath? We can search for that as well.
So the public home search websites are a great improvement for the consumer allowing the home buyer to search comfortably at home or work for their ideal home. But these sites are really just a starting point. Keep in mind that we have the capability to efficiently drill down through the data to help home buyers find their ideal Tampa home or condo. Is it a primary service that we offer home buyers. In the meantime, give the map search a try!
