The old real estate saying about “location, location, location” has been used so often that it's sometimes the punch line to a joke. But location information is no joke to today's home buyers. They want to know how close the prospective home is to their office, what the neighborhood is like, how close schools are, what other homes are available in the area, and much more before they are even willing to take the time for a drive-by visual inspection. With over 80% of buyers now saying that they use the internet frequently during their search for a home, real estate agents need to have websites that facilitate this process. Sophisticated real estate agents who are using the internet to market homes, capture leads, and outshine their competition know that having a great real estate mapping system on their website can help move the online-savvy generation to the next step in the home buying process. That’s why Galtlinedesign of Yorba Linda, CA constantly upgrades the mapping systems it incorporates into its Custom IDX Solutions. Galtlinedesign can bring the latest in mapping capabilities to the IDX solutions it develops using Joomla Real Estate because of its reliance on open source technology.
