The hunt for the most user-friendly online real estate home search tool in Austin Texas has ended! And it didn’t end up on www.AustinHomeSearch.com, the consumer website run by the Austin Board of Realtors, or even on the recently revised www.REALTOR.com. According to Team Leader Todd Smith, “we’ve taken a look at hundreds of agent (and brokerage)websites, not only in Austin but all across the country, and quite frankly, found their search functionality to be sorely lacking. Or at least using “yesterday’s technology platforms.”" The explosion of the Internet and Telecommunications era has brought us within reach of the Holy Grail of property search functionality, and we’ve recently licensed the technology right on our own website.
In addition to offering one of the most rubust and easy-to-use search tools for Austin property listings found anywhere, we will soon be unveiling a downloadable application for IPhone, ITouch, Blackberry, and Windows phones to enable users to search for property details right on their phones, see listing details, view property photos, and contact an agent for a showing if desired! For GPS-enabled phones, the application identifies all available properties in the immediate vicinity, thereby enabling easy comparison between properties, and making the buying process seamless and efficient.
Based upon industry trends, the vast majority of folks looking for Austin real estate start their searches online many months before setting foot into homes for sale. Smith adds, “either they drive neighborhoods to get a feel for an area or they go to a real estate website and search property listings without looking at much of anything else on the site. They will look at schools, recreation, information about Lake Travis and many other things. Always striving to improve the experience of buying and/or selling real estate for our clients, we’ve re-written the rule book on what an Austin real estate listing website should be as we roll out the all-new FineAustinLiving.com and its suite of technology tools!”
Users will be able to either visit a website and download the small application, or text message (via SMA) and receive a link to download the application, all free of charge.
