Tour of ValueSearch™

In recent days I have been talking about ValueSearch™. Today you have an opportunity to see it for yourself. Click on the Sample Search link to start your tour.

You now have a browser open with a search already conducted. You are seeing a search for listings in the city of Doral, Miami-Dade county Florida. Notice the list of properties that were found in the grid below the map. You will see three important pieces of information at the end of each row in the grid, 'Sale Price', 'Estimated Value', and the 'Percent of Difference'. You should also notice that the grid is sorted by 'Percent of Difference'. Select any listing in the grid and that listing we be found on the map with more detailed information including a picture if one has been provided.

Here is the cool part, find the slider bar in the lower right hand corner of the map. This slider will allow you to filter the result set of listings by value. Using your mouse, click and hold the left mouse button down on the slider button. You will see a popup appear with information about the markers position. Included in that information is the number of listings that meet that criteria.

Now slide the marker down the slider bar and see how the number of properties change. Slide the bar to one of the hash marks where there are properties and release the mouse button. Now you will get a new map of only those homes that meet the new ValueSearch™ criteria you specified.

Go back to the grid and find the 'Sale Price' column. Click on the words 'Sale Price' in the column header so the grid sorts by sale price. Sort results are always based on the selected column and then the percent of difference. This way the best deals are always presented first.

If your interested in a more detailed personalized tour of ValueSearch™ and the Homekeys web application just drop me a email at bkennedy@homekeys.net. I will be glad to walk you through the tools so you can find that home your looking for.
