Everyone loves a beta.
I’ve long thought (and most importantly, so have my clients) that Diverse Solutions, the providers of my home search tool, put together the best search for homes tool in the real estate industry. They’ve been testing a new version for a while now, and here’s the result:
Try it out for yourself – search for homes for sale in the Charlottesville area.
What’s new?
• New language in the search box
• The map will now update as the criteria changes without the need to click view results
• The map now shows properties immediately once a location is specified
• Clicking on a city marker now adds it to the locations and shows properties
• Added a variety of new design elements
• Isolated and moved the Save as Favorite button
I know that people want to search for homes without signing up, without being contacted by a Realtor, etc. etc. I don’t spam, I don’t contact without permission (I do send a “thank you for registering” email) and I want you to enjoy using this tool as much as I appreciate your using it and contacting me whenever you’re ready.
What does the beta mean for you? Hopefully it will be:
– Faster
– Cleaner
– Easier to use
Comments, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Now, as soon as they release a version that allows for me to provide search results based on radius and polygons, I’ll buy every developer at Diverse Solutions a couple cases of fantastic beer made right here in Central Virginia.
