A Better Nashville Home Search Experience
[fbshare]
When searching for homes online in Middle Tennessee most people go straight to the source. Realtracs.com is the only Multiple Listing Service (MLS) supporting Nashville, Davidson County and all surrounding areas. Realtracs is the place where Realtors upload all of their listings and home photos for the world to see. The back-end or Realtor side of the MLS is full of dynamic, useful information, but the consumer side lacks much of the functionality and usefulness that agents enjoy. Because consumers can’t create a profile where they save specific searches or “star” their favorite properties, most real estate companies engage the services of an Internet Data Exchange (or IDX) vendor. These vendors have the capability of pulling MLS data and repackaging it in a more user-friendly format.
At her NestingInNashville.com website, Stephanie Crawford of Keller Williams Realty employs Diverse Solutions, a cutting edge online IDX company that offers arguably the best real estate search experience in the business. This week, Diverse Solutions unveiled a new program offering a slew of new search features. Now consumers can find properties by city, address, zip code, school zone, square footage and price using handy sliders and a guide. Home searchers can also limit their results by criteria such as: attached garage, hardwood floors, WalkScore®, price drop percentages, total days listed, and more. Another new feature, one that has been repeatedly requested, lets users limit their search results to foreclosures and shorts sale listings only. Every property syncs instantly to a Google map to help viewers easily determine location.
Stephanie encourages anyone interested in browsing local real estate to visit the Nesting In Nashville website for a free, no-strings-attached look at the new upgraded features.
