A small Midwest real estate agency that specializes in residential brokerage and relocation services has seen upsurge activity due to favorable market conditions in the real estate sector. Clients are increasingly asking for details on each property’s location relative to schools, parks, transportation, etc. Currently, the agents mark the approximate location of the property on paper map, which they photocopy and attach to the listing report. This is a very time consuming process and one which does little to win the confidence of the client.
Solution:
Using Street Atlas USA 2008 PLUS, the entire property
listings database is imported and accurately placed on the map. Individual
properties are selected to reveal the full range of property information.
MapNotes are used to highlight properties that meet the requirements of the
client and within minutes a detailed and customized map is generated. This
powerful yet easy-to-used tool saves time, provides accurate results, and
improves the efficiency of the agency.
