Choosing a Property Search Solution

October 22 2013

What is Property Search?

house mouse saleWe don't need to tell you what property search is; you know it all too well. It's where your buyers live and breathe, and where your sellers want to reach buyers. There are third party property search portals available, the property search portals on broker or agent websites, and property search portals on MLS sites. The key isn't just for these solutions to be user-friendly, but also for them to have access to accurate and comprehensive data. Finding a solution that's a good fit for your needs and your budget is crucial.

Questions to Ask

There are some important questions to ask when buying any real estate technology product and some that are unique to choosing a solution for property search.

  • First, let's look at general questions you'll want to ask.
  • What are my objectives for this piece of technology and will this product help me achieve those objectives?
  • What is my budget?
  • Does my MLS or Association have any agreements with any vendors that might help me obtain this product at a discount or for free?
  • What kind of customer service and training programs are available? Are there webinars and, if so, are they recorded so you can view them at any time? Is the vendor's online help sufficient?
