Consumers Can Now More Easily Discover Relevant Properties on Real Estate Websites BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iHomefinder is proud to announce the latest advance in property search for real estate websites. Our new interactive Map Search tool offers consumers a new and easy way to find properties of interest. By beginning the search on the map itself, consumers can locate the specific area where they want to search, and discover listings they might not otherwise find when a search is limited to a specific city or zip code. Map Search goes beyond simply showing the results of a search on a map. The location of a property is critical, and consumers want easy access to this information. By seeing an entire area with all listings displayed, consumers can navigate on the map and explore multiple areas at once. This is especially useful for people who are relocating or wanting to live near a specific attraction like a waterfront, park, or commuting hub. This new search tool is a valuable addition to any real estate website. By offering an alternative to a regular form-based search, agents and brokers can create a more compelling online presence. Consumers using Map Search will discover interesting properties more quickly and in greater numbers, increasing the likelihood that they'll contact an agent or broker and become a valuable new customer. "Interactive maps are becoming a critical piece of any real estate website," said Alon Chaver, CEO of iHomefinder. "I've been observing online real estate technology for years, and mapping technologies can finally offer a responsive consumer experience."
