5 ways to use MapBuilder.net for your Real Estate Business
I wrote a post on this a couple of days ago, but I've had many questions from agents on how they could integrate MapBuilder.net into their everyday agent toolbox.Here are 5 ideas...
- You could actually use their real estate service $19.95/mo. Here is the demo This service offers a pre-packaged solution to add your listings to the map, and add the map to your website
- It may take a bit more work, but you can use the basic/free service on MapBuilder to plot and list your properties yourself. Each point that you plot on the map can include pictures, text, and even links. (1)Set up a free account (2)enter in a listing address (3)add info on the listing to that point on the map (4)then link it to the page on your website that further describes the listing and gives your contact information.
- Use the map to plot all of your past sales. If you've been in the business a while, this could be a great way to impress your clients. It would look good to have a map full of hundreds of pin points showing your past business success. This could impress a prospective client by showing them that you sold another house in close proximity to their own.
- If you own a real estate office and want to visually identify what particular market each of your agents is farming, this could be a very usefull tool.
- Use it as a database to visually keep track of your clients. You can plot them on the map, and include all of their contact information. And since everything is online, you can pull up the information anywhere you have internet access.
The beautiful thing about MapBuilder is that you can build your own maps for free... so be creative. You can literally plot anything you want in the entire country using an address, city, or zip code. And because it's built with Google, you can switch to the satellite or hybrid view to get some serious detail on all your maps.
I hope this followup was helpful. This site is just exciting because it really lets a web layman like me to integrate cutting edge technology without too much work.
