Tool allows neighborhood-specific searches
Point2 Technoligies Inc.
has introduced a real estate agent directory that is sorted by cities
and neighborhoods and associated with property listings. The new tool
is integrated with the real estate tech company’s property-search
portal.
The new tool allows consumers in 82 countries to locate and review agents in their area, according to a company announcement.
“Consumers are now able to search for agents by
cities and neighborhoods they are interested in. This type of national
search doesn’t exist anywhere else today,” said Brendan King, chief
operating officer for Point2 Technologies, in a statement. The agent
directory only displays agents who “have actually listed, sold listings
or are local experts,” according to the announcement.
The company also announced that its Point2Homes.com
search site now allows users to view the number of listings their
property search criteria will return before they submit the terms to
the search engine.
Traffic on Point2Homes.com draws an average 600,000 to 800,000 unique visitors each month, the company announced.
An estimated 500 to 800 new listings are added to
that site each day, the company announced. Listings at the site are
aggregated from the company’s own technology platforms and are not
drawn from the MLS or scraped from third-party sites, the company
noted. The company’s listings are also distributed to such sites as
Google Base, Yahoo! Classifieds, Trulia, Oodle, LiveDeal, Propsmart and
Edgeio, among others.
