I was very excited to launch the Google mapping tools here at maryannmc.com and they are definitely a useful tool to see the actual location of listed homes right down to the satellite view which really gives you a true birds-eye view of the neighborhoods. These powerful tools are a must-have MLS search feature in my opinion. User feedback provided by my clients has indicated that they prefer to begin their home search on the ADVANCED search tab instead of the PROPERTY SEARCH tab. This gives them the option of selecting the area by city, zip, neighborhood, and more.  Some just weren't sure how to get started with the map.

In response to this feedback I have instructed my webmaster change the main search link on the homepage to direct users to the ADVANCED search feature tab. Users who prefer to conduct a map-based search can still begin on the map by selecting the PROPERTY SEARCH tab at the top of the search box. You will find that a new CITY/ZIP field has been added at the top of the map to make getting started easier. Map-based searches can also still be conducted by holding the CTRL key and drawing a box around the area you wish to search within, fill out the bed/bath and price info at the top and you're on your way. This powerful display will show you where mulitple listings can be found on the map in relationship to one another.  

Happy Searching and be sure to give me a call when you find just the right one!
