Albemarle
Coming soon … for years there have been things I have wanted to do to help my buyer clients search for homes in Charlottesville* and for years, technology has lagged far beyond my goals. That’s changed. Coming in the next week or two, I’ll be announcing a new way to search that incorporates many of my wants – first and foremost –
– RSS Feeds for saved searches
– The ability to search multiple school districts at once – for example, to search Crozet, you need to search Brownsville and Crozet Elementary Schools. Now, you, the buyer/searcher will be able to do just that.
I’m excited. Yes, I’m a real estate geek, but I’m also looking to implement the absolute best tools for my buyer and seller clients. This is going to help with that.
To my buyer clients who provided the initial feedback that conclusively helped me decide to move forward, thank you sincerely. (I’ll be letting you have first crack at this tool). If you’re interested in seeing this new search before I release it publicly, please let me know.
*yes, I acknowledge that this is a moderately keyword-slammed post, but it’s worth it.
